Objective To explore the early intervention mode for the community-based stroke rehabilitation.Methods Thirty-two stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study and intervened by doctor through home visit. The early rehabilitation intervention in community was assessed with Barthel Index (BI) and Berg Balanced Scale (BBS).Results BI and BBS scores showed a gradual upward trend in patients as intervention went on and their differences between different intervention times were statistically significant (P<0.001).Conclusion Early community-based rehabilitation intervention established the management mode for patients transferring from level Ⅲ hospital to community, which played an important role in the recovery of balance function and activity of daily living for stroke patients.
