Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of traditional rehabilitation training, motor relearning and transcranial direct current stimulation on FMA,ARAT score and ADL of stroke patients. Methods Sixty-five patients with initial stroke who were admitted to Rehabilitation center of Beijing rehabilitation hospital from August 2016 to August 2018 were selected. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the experimental group. On this basis, the experimental group received transcranial direct current stimulation for 6 weeks, while the control group received only false stimulation. The arm motion survey test scale (ARAT) and the simplified fugl-meyer motor function scale (FMA) were used to evaluate the upper limb motor function of patients, and the modified Barthel index scale (MBI) was used to evaluate the daily living activity ability of patients. Results There was no significant difference in FMA score, ARAT score and MBI score before and after treatment between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, FMA and ARAT scores of the upper limbs in the experimental group were (39.44±4.09) and (18.92±3.28), respectively, while those in the control group were (34.22±4.20) and (15.30±3.22), respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=3.239, 2.939, all P < 0.05). Conclusion Traditional rehabilitation training, exercise relearning combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) for stroke patients improved the upper limb motor function to some extent, and effectively improved the daily living ability of the patients. It is worth popularizing in clinic. Key words: Stroke; Rehabilitation training; Sports re-learning; Transcranial direct current stimulation; Daily life activity ability
