Objective:
The aim: To determine the effect of post-stroke fatigue on the motor recovery after ischemic stroke.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of the department of vascular neurology of the Uzhhorod Central City Clinical Hospital during the six months of 2020. We examined 92 patients who suffered a hemispheric ischemic stroke in the early recovery period.
Results:
Results: At the end of therapy, improvement of motor function was observed in patients in both groups. We received a significant improvement(p<0,05) in the patients of the main group on the SSS and 6-point scale of muscle strength. We found that a high score on the FAS showed a significant correlation with the worst dynamics of recovery on the NIHSS, Scandinavian scale of stroke and 6-point scale of muscle strength (p <0,05).
Conclusion:
Conclusions: According to the results of the study, it was found that the presence of post-stroke fatigue significantly impairs the improvement of motor functions in patients with hemispheric ischemic stroke, patients who had more severe fatigue had worse recovery rates after stroke.
