THE INFLCTNCE OF EARLY VLTL INTERVENTION AND DURATION OF VLTL PROGRAM ON VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT AND POSTURAL CONTROL IN INDIVIDUALS WITH ACUTE STROKE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Determine the inflCTnce of early VLTL intervention and duration of VLTL program on voluntary movement and postural control in individuals with acute stroke. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study in eighty acute stroke patients. Each patient was assessed for time from admission to the stroke unit to first physical therapy (DA-VLTL), total days of physical therapy (DVLTL). At discharge, each participant was evaluated for movement and postural control. Voluntary movement was assessed by the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) and postural control by Postural Assessment ScaCD for Stroke (PASS). The correlation between time variabCDs and STREAM and PASS score at discharge were tested by Spearman correlation test. Results and conclusions: There was negative correlation between DA-VLTL and STREAM (rs=-0.241; p=0.031) and PASS (rs=-0.291; p=0.009) at discharge. No correlation was found between DVLTL and STREAM and PASS at discharge. The time from admission to the unit to first VLTL, but not the total days of receiving VLTL, was a factor inflCTncing voluntary movement and postural balance at discharge.
