    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of standardized three stages' rehabilitation on the neurological function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. METHODS: All 52 patients firstly are brought into two blocks: primary cerebral infarction and primary cerebral hemorrhage then are divided into treated group and controlled group randomly. Patients in the treated group are given Standardized Three Stages' Rehabilitation, while those in the controlled group are only given normal internal medicine treatments that are the same as the treated group but without Standardized Three Stages' Rehabilitation. All patients would be assessed with the scale of Clinical Neurological Function Defects (CNFD) at the entering time, the end of 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month respectively after stroke. RESULTS: The scores of the treated group are lower than those of the controlled group (P < 0.001) at every stage, the margins between every stage's scores in the treated group are greater than those in the controlled group (P < 0.001). The scores of the treated group's patients are about 51%, 34%, 18% and 8% of total scores at the entering time, the end of 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month after stroke differently, but that of the controlled group are about 58%, 54%, 42% and 37% of total scores differently. The margins between the scores of entering time and that of the end of 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month in the treated group are 17%, 33% and 43% of total scores respectively, but that of the controlled group are about 5%, 16% and 21% of total scores differently. CONCLUSION: Standardized three stages' rehabilitation could promote stroke patients' motor function of every stage obviously.
