Brief Summary

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of disability in the world. More than 70% of stroke patients show various degrees of neural function impairment. Motor rehabilitation in acute phase is beneficial for improving patient's structure and function of corticospinal tract. However, it is difficult to obtain effective rehabilitation during the acute phase of stroke because of the insufficiency of professional rehabilitation therapists in stroke wards in China.The present study is to verify that nursing-directed rehabilitation can compensate for the shortage of professional rehabilitation therapists. Our previous study indicated that nursing-directed motor function rehabilitation provided more obvious effect on stroke patients with a weighted corticospinal tract lesion load (wCST-LL) smaller than 2ml. We assume that implementing rehabilitation nursing based on the wCST-LL can realize nursing-directed, wCST-LL-based precision motor rehabilitation during acute phase of ischemic stroke.The present study is to conduct randomized clinical trial to confirm the effect of nursing-directed precision rehabilitation for motor function in acute stroke patients grouped by wCST-LL, and to evaluate the effect of this precision rehabilitation by using functional scale, and to explore the histopathologic mechanism of the precision rehabilitation nursing by mean of neuroelectrophysiology and neuroimaging examination. This study might provide theoretical support for motor rehabilitation in patients during acute phase of stroke.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of motor function

    use Modified Barthel scale to evaluate the change of motor function,The scale were measure the function of the stroke patients,the scale have 100 scores,the function is better if the scores were higher.

    0 week and 1 week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of neuroelectric physiological parameters

    0 week and 1 week

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Change of neuroimaging quantitative parameters

    0 week and 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in experimental group were graded with modified Barthel index score, and according to the functional score of patients, the corresponding rehabilitation method was selected for functional rehabilitation from functional rehabilitation nursing program,twice a day with 30 min each time, last 1 week.

Other: functional rehabilitation nursing program

control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in control group were given conventional bedside rehabilitation ,twice a day with 30 min each time, last 1 week.

Other: control group

Interventions

According to the modified Barthel index score, the patients' function was divided into four parts Level,each level has different kinds of rehabilitation nursing.

Experimental group

The rehabilitation were given by the rehabilitation therapist based on the patient's condition, such as, bridge movement,limb passive motion, limb active motion,turn over,sit upw,walk, and so on.

control group
