Perfil dos pacientes hemiplégicos atendidos no Lar Escola São Francisco - Centro de Reabilitação

Abstract

Review of hemiplegic patient treatment at a rehabilitation centre By review of 147 hemilegic pacient data a retrospective study was realized at Lar Escola São Francisco (São Paulo – Brasil) , with the objective of knowing our patient characteristics and assess the treatment they received during the period from 1995 (Jan) to 1998 (Dec). 38,8% were female from which 39 have had isquemic attack and 18 hemorrhagic type. Between male (61,2%) 67 were isquemic type while 23 have had hemorrhagic stroke. 53% of the total with isquemic stroke received individual therapy whereas 38% of those with hemorrhagic attack received this type of therapy. The mean of durability of individual therapy was 10,8 months and for group therapy it was 11,2 months. We concluded that our patient are similar to those described in the literature (sex, type of attack, side of lesion) but the duration of therapy still longer if compared to that.
