Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of hemiplegic limb rehabilitation training on the nursing care of individuals who have experienced a stroke.

Methods: Seventy-six stroke patients from Zhangjiagang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine participated in a study comparing the effects of different nursing interventions. The patients were divided into 2 groups: a control that received standard nursing care and an observation group that received rehabilitation training in addition to standard care. The researchers analyzed the effects on limb movement, daily activities, muscle recovery, and nursing satisfaction between the 2 groups.

Results: The nursing intervention in the observation group showed a significantly higher effectiveness rate of 94.74% compared to the control group's rate of 55.26% (P < .05). Prior to the intervention, there was no notable difference in limb movement scores between the 2 groups (P > .05). Similarly, there was no significant difference in Barthel Index scores between the 2 groups before the intervention (P > .05). However, after the intervention, the Bathel Index score in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < .05).

Conclusion: Hemiplegic limb rehabilitation training nursing care positively impacts stroke patients, improving physical mobility, muscle strength, and overall quality of life. This method should be prioritized and implemented in clinical practice.
