Abstract

Objective: To investigate relative factors of influencing limb functional recovery in the patient of hemiplegia.

Methods: In 312 stroke patients with hemiplegia who were treated by a comprehensive rehabilitation program, 10 factors of possibly influencing limb functional recovery in the patient of hemiplegia were selected to make retrospective analysis and study on 48 cases with no improvement of limb function after treatment.

Results: Functional recovery of hemiplegic limbs was not correlated with gender and location of brain lesion, but was correlated with the age and courses of disease, types of stroke, aphasis, psychic disturbance as well as complications (P < 0.05), with the closest relation to the focus character and cognitive disturbance (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: In establishing therapeutic project and evaluating prognosis, above relative factors should be considered.
