Abstract

|
|
Objectives:The degree of post-stroke depression was observed and then correlated to the recovery rate of the motor functions of the above treated stroke patients.
Methods:The BDI SCALE(Beck Depression Inventory Scale) and motor grades of 50 diagnosed stroke patients who were hospitalized in Dong-Seo Oriental Hospital between the period of May 2002 to September 2002 were measured. After a 1 month recovery period the BDI SCALE and motor grade of the above mentioned patients were again measured and a correlation was observed.
Results: A lower BDI SCALE was observed in patients with a higher motor grade recovery rate.
Conclusion: The treatment of post-stroke depression is imperative for positive effects on the motor functions of stroke patients.
