Abstract

Objective: To assess the results of upper limb motor function in patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral ischemic stroke and a number of factors affect the results of upper limb motor rehabilitation. Methods: before and after study evaluating the results of upper limb motor rehabilitation in 18 ischemic stroke inpatients at Hanoi Rehabilitation Hospital from February 2022 to June 2022. Results: After the intervention, the upper limb motor function according to the FMA scale increased 1.94 after 1 month, increased 7.28 after 2 months. Advanced hand activities based on the MAS scale increased by 1.17 after 1 month and increased by 3.35 after 2 months; and the level of independence in daily activities according to Barthel Index improved 10 after 1 month, 24.16 after 2 months and the difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. There is a moderate correlation between age and upper limb movement on the paralyzed side, p<0.05. There is no correlation between lateral arm movement and disease stage, p>0,05. Conclusion: Upper limb motor function and advanced hand activities as well as the independent living ability of the patient improved after 1 month and significantly improved after 2 months.
