Abstract
The study aims to trace the influence of specialized kinesitherapeutic methodology (SKTM) on motor recovery and functional independence in patients with ischemic stroke in the chronic period (ISChP).
Material and Methods
The study was conducted with 56 patients with ISChP (32 men and 24 women, mean age 63.2 ± 8.8 years old, weight 77.9 ± 10.1 kg, height 169.2 ± 6.4 centimeters and duration of illness up to 1 year).
Assessment of motor recovery and the level of functional independence test is used to test Brunnstrom and functional independence - FIM. The stage of functional recovery and the level of functional independence were assessed at the beginning, at the 10th day, at the 1st month and at the 3rd month after the start of the kinesitherapy. All patients were treated with a specialized 10-day SKTM, which later continued to be performed by patients as adapted exercise program at home for a period of three months.
Results
After the application of SKTM the highest tendency towards improvement in the motor recovery and functional independence was established at the 1st month with a level of significance p<0.000.
Conclusion
The applied kinesitherapeutic specialized methodology continued later as adapted exercise program at home, significantly improved motor recovery and functional independence in patients with functional impairment due to ISChP.
