Popis: Background and Objective. The study was carried out under the background that out-of-hospital rehabilitation of acute stroke patients is of great importance for the recovery of nerve and limb functions. We aimed to investigate the effects of continuous nursing combined with CIMT by a health platform on the limb motor function and quality of life in acute stroke patients. Methods. 68 acute stroke patients admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to July 2019 were selected as the study participants and divided into group A and group B based on the odd and even numbers of their admission numbers, with 34 cases in each group. Patients in group B accepted the routine rehabilitation exercise, while patients in group A accepted the continuous care combined with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) under a health platform, so as to compare their upper limb function recovery by the Fugl–Meyer assessment (FMA) and improved median Barthel index (MBI). Results. The general information of the two groups were not obviously different ( P > 0.05) but comparable; after intervention, the FMA scores (38.42 ± 7.62 vs 31.22 ± 7.25) and MBI scores (78.63 ± 6.52 vs 70.24 ± 6.48) of patients in group A were significantly higher than those of group B ( P P P P P P
