Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of standardized comprehensive rehabilitation treatment on activities of daily living (ADL) of stroke patients. Methods 60 stroke patients were divided randomly into rehabilitation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups received routine internal medicine treatment, and the rehabilitation group received standardized comprehensive rehabilitation treatment additionally.ADL was assessed with BI at admission and 1, 2, 3 months after admission. Results In the control group, the score of BI was significantly higher 1 month after admission than at admission (P=0.000), and there was no difference 2 and 3 months after admission from 1 month after admission (P>0.05). In the rehabilitation group, the score of BI was significantly higher 1, 2 and 3 months after admission than at admission (P=0.000). There was no difference in the score of BI between 2 groups at admission (P>0.05), and the score of BI was significantly higher in the rehabilitation group than in the control group at other treatment periods (P=0.000). Conclusion Standardized comprehensive rehabilitation treatment could promote the ADL of stroke patients who have the trend of self-recovery at the early stage.
