Abstract
One hundred and fifty eight post-stroke patients in the recovering period were divided into intervention group (78 cases) and control group (80 cases). Patients in intervention group received home rehabilitation service provided by general practitioners (GP) for 6 months, while patients in control group received routine rehabilitation. After 6-months, the scores of self-rated health measurement scale (SRHMS) in intervention group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.01); the visiting time and frequency, medical costs and time of caregiving were decreased (P<0.01); and the satisfaction score of the patients in intervention group was 97%. The results show that home rehabilitation service can improve effectiveness of rehabilitation for post-stroke patient in recovering period.
