Application of individualized family rehabilitation program in motor function of stroke patients

Objective To investigate effect of individualized family rehabilitation program under the guidance of Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities(CARF)concept on motor function in stroke patients. Methods A total of 60 stroke patients were randomly divided into experimental group(n=30)and control group(n=30). After discharge, the control group received conventional family rehabilitation, while the experimental group received individualized family rehabilitation program under the guidance of CARF. Both groups received family rehabilitation intervention for 8 weeks. The motor function of two groups was assessed by Functional Independent Measure(FIM), and Simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)before and after 8-month intervention. Results There were significant differences in FIM scores and FMA scores between experimental group and control group(P<0.05). After 8-month intervention, the scores of FIM and FMA were significantly improved in the experimental group(P<0.05), and in the control group compared to intervention before, but no significant differences were found(P>0.05). Conclusion The individualized visual family rehabilitation program under CARF concept can significantly improve the limb motor function and quality of life of stroke patients.
