| Summary: | Objective:To obtain the popularization of this appropriate training program from hospital to patients'family, we would evaluate the changes of the balance and activity of daily living (ADL) of home-based rehabilitation in patients with stroke through sensorimotor training program performed by either the therapists or patients'carers.Methods:According to the random number table 40 discharged patients with stroke were randomly assigned to experimental group (the carers group) and control group (the therapists group), and 20 patients in each group. In the experimental group, the patient's carers were educated and examined for the training program, only the patient's carers passing the examination were eligible to execute the training. In the control group, the training was performed by the skillful therapists. The training in two groups was 1.5 hours each time, three times per week, consecutive eight weeks. The Berg balance scale (BBS) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the balance and ADL, and the patients received the above evaluations before and after the eight-weeks-training, and 3 months of follow-up.Results:After the eight-week-program, the BBS and MBI in the two groups were increased significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.01). After 3 months of follow-up, the BBS and MBI in the two groups were further increased (<italic>P</italic><0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the BBS and MBI (<italic>P</italic>>0.05).Conclusion:After sensorimotor training, the BBS and MBI in the two groups were increased, and the ability of balance of patients had obvious progress. However, there was no obvious effect on treatment outcome whether the sensorimotor training program performed by the therapists or patients'carers. The sensorimotor training of home-based rehabilitation was an effective way for stroke patients with mild or moderate motor function handicap, and the training program can improve or maintain the ability of balance and ADL of patients in a short term. |
