Abstract


INTRODUCTION. The aim of this study was:
— evaluation of metabolic syndrome incidence in patients after brain stroke rehabilitation in ward;
— evaluation of rehabilitation effect on functional state of patients after three-weeks’ rehabilitation period;
— evaluation of tree weeks’ rehabilitation effects on functional state of patients after brain stroke with medical syndrome and without this syndrome.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. the analysed included 68 patients (31 women and 37 men) after brain stroke aged 43-80 (age mean 57.71 yrs). Occurrence of particular metabolic syndrome components was analysed in patients. Ability with the use of Barthel index, paresis grade by Brunnström scale admitting to word also after three-weeks’ rehabilitation period were evaluated.
RESULTS. After three weeks‘ rehabilitation period in word, decrease in paresis grade evaluated by Brunnström scale in upper extremity on average by 0.40 pts in hand by 0.33 pts, in lower extremity by 0.34 pts was found in studied group. Improvement functional ability estimated by Brunnström functional scale on average by 0.30 pts, by Barthel index on average by 3 pts was also found. Substantial differences were not found between rehabilitation effects in patients with metabolic syndrome (27 people) and patients in whom metabolic syndrome was not found.
CONCLUSIONS.
1. Short-term hospital influences decrease in paresis grade also improvement of functional state and patients’ self-service ability after brain stroke.
2. Occurrence of metabolic syndrome is not concentration against rehabilitation.
3. Occurrence of metabolic syndrome in patients after brain stroke does not differentiate rehabilitation results.
