Effect of rehabilitation training based on the ICF concept on the recovery of construction workers with craniocerebral trauma: a randomized study.

BACKGROUND

Craniocerebral trauma is a common neurosurgical disease. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in craniocerebral injuries caused by accidental injuries of construction workers. We aimed to analyze the effect of International Classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF) concept rehabilitation training on the recovery of patients (construction workers) with craniocerebral trauma.

METHODS

A total of 142 patients with craniocerebral trauma from construction sites were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=71) received routine rehabilitation training, and the ICF group (n=71) received ICF concept rehabilitation training. Before and after rehabilitation training, the NIHSS was used to evaluate neurological function, the MMSE was used to evaluate cognitive function, the FMA method was used to evaluate limb motor ability, the BI index was used to evaluate self-care ability, and the ICF scale was used to evaluate the rehabilitation outcome.

RESULTS

There were no significant differences in general information and NIHSS, MMSE, FMA, and BI scores before rehabilitation training between the control and ICF groups. After rehabilitation training, NIHSS scores decreased significantly, while MMSE, FMA, and BI scores increased significantly compared with the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

ICF concept rehabilitation training significantly improved neurological function and cognitive function, enhanced the motor function of limbs, improved self-care ability, and led to a better rehabilitation outcome of patients with craniocerebral trauma.
