This study is to investigate the effect of the level of Korean medical intervention (KMI) on the recovery of activity of daily living (ADL) and the motor function in patients with stroke. A total of 43 stroke patients were recruited. The participants were divided into two groups, the basic Korean medical intervention (BKM) and the comprehensive Korean medical intervention (CKM) group. The patients in BKM group were treated with the basic acupuncture and the consultation of Korean medicine doctors. The treatments of CKM group patients included the comprehensive herbal medical therapies in addition to the treatments of BKM group. The western rehabilitation therapies were performed in all participants with KMI. The functional outcomes using modified Barthel Index of Korean version (K-MBI) and Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) were analyzed before and after the treatment between two groups. Significant differences between the BKM and the CKM group were demonstrated in both K-MBI and FMA (p<0.05). There were significant relationships between the level of the KMI and K-MBI/FMA (p<0.05). In conclusion, the comprehensive KMI was more effective to improve the ADL and motor function in patients with the stroke east-west integrative medical care.
