Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of hand intensive training on upper limb function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Methods: 110 stroke patients were randomly divided into two groups: the reference group and the observation group. 55 patients in the reference group were treated with routine rehabilitation treatment, including routine joint activity training, bed training, exercise therapy, and ADL ability training; 55 cases in the observation group received intensive hand training on the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment, including inducing the patient's five finger extension, forcibly pulling the fingers and wrist joints, and suddenly opening his fist after clenching his fist.

Results: The treatment period of the two groups was 5 weeks. In the comparison results of Fugl-Meyer (FMA), the exercise effect of the observation group with increased hand intensive training was significantly better than that of the control group with stroke hemiplegia treated with conventional methods. The difference was statistically significant, t < 10.000, P < 0.05; In the comparative analysis of upper limb function test (UEFT), the effect of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the reference group treated with routine rehabilitation nursing (all P < 0.05); In the comprehensive comparison of exercise ability results, the observation group was higher than the reference group in the flexibility, fineness, and fineness of activity behavior after treatment.

Conclusion: Strengthening hand intensive training can further improve the upper limb motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia, reduce the severity of hemiplegia, and improve the recovery effect of stroke patients. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
