This study compares the effectiveness of two occupational therapy approaches to treating cerebrovascular accident patients--the functional and sensorimotor integrative approaches. Subjects were 90 patients admitted to Holy Family Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, within 12 weeks after a first stroke. Consenting subjects were randomly assigned on admission to one of two occupational therapy treatment groups. All subjects received similar medical and nursing care and physical therapy. An independent clinical evaluator assessed subjects' function in self-care and mobility, meal preparation, and sensorimotor integration at specified times after admission. Neither the evaluator nor the subjects were aware of the treatment group to which they had been assigned. Results showed no statistically significant differences between the two treatment groups on the three outcome measures. We therefore concluded that any differences between the effectiveness of the two approaches are small.
本研究比较了两种职业疗法治疗脑血管意外患者的效果——功能疗法和感觉运动整合疗法。研究对象为加拿大温哥华圣家医院收治的90例首次中风后12周内入院的患者。同意参与的受试者在入院时被随机分配到两个职业疗法治疗组之一。所有受试者均接受相似的医疗、护理及物理治疗。一名独立的临床评估人员在受试者入院后的特定时间评估其自理、活动能力、膳食准备及感觉运动整合方面的功能。评估人员和受试者均不知道自己被分配到了哪个治疗组。结果显示,在三项结果指标上,两个治疗组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。因此,我们得出结论,两种疗法效果之间的任何差异都很小。
