The aims of the Lithuanian Health Programme (1998) are to reduce the death rate in patients following stoke, age younger than 65 years old by 15%, and by 10% in patients at age of 65-74 years old, up to year 2010. While trying to enhance the recovery results following the abovementioned disease it is necessary to erect and renew the effective rehabilitation system. The aim is to estimate the effectiveness of The Constrain – Induce Movement Test on arm functions’ recovery of the post - stroke patients. The were two groups of testees, experimental group and control group, each composed of 30 stroke patients. The methods used while writing this study were as follows: the analysis of the used literature sources, and the testing (the evaluation of movements and the Nine Hole Peg Test). The Constrain – Induce Movement Test applied while carrying out this experiment statistically credibly improved the function of the patients’ arms. The average of the evaluation of shoulders arch movements in the control group is 3,13 ± 0,61 points. In the experimental group the average is 4,53 ± 0,97 points. The margin of 1,4 point is statistically reliable (p<0,05). There was also noticed a significant improvement in hand movements in the experimental group. The average of the evaluation of hand movements in the control group is 3,4 ± 0,67 points, while in the experimental group the average is 5,07 ± 0,87 points. The margin is 1,67 points (p<0,05). Analogous results were drawn while estimating... [to full text]
