ABSTRACT:
Bulgaria is in a leading position concerning morbidity and mortality rate from cerebrovascular disease (CVD). The goal of this research was to examine, follow up and assess the recovery and the ability for food preparation and feeding in patients with CVD.
Materials and methods: Sixty one patients were included in the research. All of them underwent physical rehabilitation program, based on their individual status. The program included: kinesitherapy, labour-therapy [(occupational therapy (OT) and activities of daily life (ADL)]; electrotherapy. The patients were assessed twice: in the beginning and at the end of the rehabilitation course. They self evaluated the basic parameters nevertheless which of the limbs was particularly affected. Wilcoxon rank test was used for the statistical analysis of non parametrical data and distribution.
Results and analysis: At the end of the rehabilitation course the Wilcoxon’s curves were found shifted to the right, which confirmes improvement of the main parameter (self independence in the main task set to be fulfilled), no matter which limb was paretic.
Conclusion: Early initiation of the rehabilitation course including labour activities and elements of ADL, given as instructions is essential for achieving better results in the rehabilitation of patients with CVD and for enhancing the self service ability. Functional OT stimulates the independence of patients and facilitates their recovering to independent everyday life and social activities.
Key words: rehabilitation, occupational therapy, cerebro-vascular disease.
