Functional Spatially-Oriented Rehabilitation Of Elderly Patients After Cerebral Stroke

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of training sessions in the complex of functional spatially-oriented rehabilitation (FSR) for personified readaptation of the patient to the implementation of social and everyday life skills and motor function restoration in comparison with traditional methods of physical therapy and occupational therapy among 40 patients, 84.5 +/- 1.2 years old, with a moderate degree of motor disorders that have suffered from AVCC in the pool of the right middle cerebral artery was made. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the main group (n=20) received comprehensive training sessions in the FSR device, the control group patients (n=20) received a standard rehabilitation program (therapeutic gymnastics classes with a physical therapy instructor, ergotherapy procedures). The duration of the course is 21 days. As a result of the study, the following data were obtained in patients of the main group in comparison with the control group: Rivermid mobility index was 10.2 +/- 0.6 points and 6.3 +/- 0.7 points (p=0.0006), respectively, and the Bartel index was 14.7 +/- 0.5 points and 10.3 +/- 0.7 points (p=0.0001), respectively, data on the Rankin scale (disability) 2.1 +/- 0.2 points and 3.05 +/- 0.1 points (p=0.001), respectively. The results indicate the effective use of the FSR method in the framework of complex social and household rehabilitation of elderly patients after AVCC.
