AIM: To study the role of the intervention in post-stroke depression (PSD) in the motor function and abilities of daily living (ADL). METHODS: Totally 60 PSD patients were divided randomly into three groups, including control group (routine drug therapy), rehabilitation group (drug therapy plus early rehabilitation) and intervention group (drug therapy, early rehabilitation, ADL training, antidepressent and psychological treatment). RESULTS: The intervention group scored 6.90 +/- 4.22 for the National Institutes of health Stroke Scale, 74.65 +/- 24.12 for Fugl-Meyer assessment, 81.80 +/- 21.58 for modified Barthel Index and 4.75 +/- 0.60 for Hamilton rating scale for depression, which was superior to the rehabilitation and control groups (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The therapy for PSD can promote the recover of motor function and improve teh ADL of PSD patients.
