Influence Of Meridian Dredges And Functional Exercises On Quality Of Life And Activity Of Daily Living In Patients With Hemiplegia After Stroke

Stroke is a group of disease with presenting symoptoms of sudden faint, hemiplegia, skew-mouth and tongue, difficulty in speaking even aphasia, hemianesthesia, which owes to the reversed and disordered Qi and blood causing wind, fire, sputum, stasis, as a result of the blockage of cerebral vessels or blood run-out of cerebral vessels. Now, stroke is one of the three causes of death among human beings, it is also a common and frequently-occurring disease of the middle-aged and the aged. Every year, there are newly 1,300,000 people attacked by cerebrovascular disease, of which nearly 1,000,000 people die. The onset is urgent and dangerous with high morbidity and high disability. About three-quarter survivors do suffer from sequelae such as hemiplegia, some lose the basal activity ability.Objective To study on the influence of Meridian Dredges and Functional Exercises on extremities function and quality of life in patients with stroke.Method Provide randomized envelop with SPSS software. A total of 100 patients with stroke were selected and randomized into test and control group 50 cases each Patients in control group were give conventional treatment and the limb function of the stroke. While patients in test group were given Meridian Dredges Exercises besides the treatment mentioned above Then the therapeutic effects were evaluated by filling out brief Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) scale and ADL rating scale(FIM) and Life satifisfaction index A (LSIA) and quality of life index (QLI) before treatment and 8 weeks after treating.Result Prior to the study, there was no significant statistic difference between the two groupes (sex, age, hemiplegia side, the time of be taked bad to be joined evaluation of exercise function, incidental disease). They were comparable. After treatment, FMA, FIM, LSIA and QLI in these two group patients had been improved obviously compared to that of patients before their treatment (p<0.01). It's indicated that two groups'therapy was efficiency. In addition, the effect of test group was superior to that of control group.Conclusion Meridian Dredges and Functional Exercises can significantly improve extremities function and ADL and QOL of patients with stroke. It is simple, convenient, intuitionistic, economic, feasible, persistent in the full courses.
