Abstract

Objective: to assess the effectiveness of early rehabilitation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods The study was conducted on patients with severe traumatic brain injury who were treated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) department and continued their treatment at the Neurosurgery department of Viet Duc Hospital from May 2022 to May 2023. The patients underwent early rehabilitation and were evaluated at 1 and 3 months. Results: After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, the patients showed significant improvements in the level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale), motor function based on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), daily living activities, and disability status according to the Extended Rivermead Behavioural Inventory (ERBI). However, there was no improvement in spasticity as assessed by the Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS). There were no reports of side effects during the intervention. Conclusions: early rehabilitation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury help patients improve in the level of consciousness, motor function, daily living activities, and disability status, there was no improvement in spasticity.
