Stroke is an acute impairment of circulation of blood in the brain and it impairs function of all brain or its separate parts. Furthermore, after stroke shows up paralysis of one body side and especially impairs arm function. That’s why the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early physiotherapy for arm function of patients after stroke.
The goals of the research was: to evaluate motions of shoulder girdle, hand and complicated motions of arm before physiotherapy; to evaluate motions of shoulder girdle, hand and complicated motions of arm after physiotherapy; to estimate whether additional physiotherapy improved retraining of arm function.
The research was performed in neurological department of Siauliai hospital. Sixty patients after cerebrovascular stroke took part in this study.

Study used these research methods: evaluation of motions of shoulder girdle, evaluation of motions of hand, evaluation of complicated motions of arm and mathematical statistics. Arm function was evaluated by motion assessment scale.
Several conclusions were made in summary of results of... [to full text]
