摘要 |
Objective: This study identified the predictive factors of change in quality of life (QOL) after a distributed form of constraint-induced therapy (dCIT) in patients with stroke. Method: A total of 74 participants were treated with dCIT. Eight potential determinants were identified: age, gender, side of lesion, time since stroke, cognitive status, motor impairment of the upper extremity, activities of daily living (ADL), and instrumental ADL (IADL). The Stroke-Specific QOL (SS-QOL) Scale was used to assess QOL. Results: Right-sided lesion and onset of more than 17 months determined larger improvement in the SS-QOL Energy domain. Onset of more than 10 months, poorer performance of IADL, and age older than 68 years predicted improvement in the Family Role, Mobility, and Mood domains, respectively. Conclusions: Side of lesion, time since stroke, IADL performance, and age are the most important determinants of QOL in patients receiving stroke motor rehabilitation. |
