Abstract

Introduction: cerebrovascular diseases are a worldwide health problem.
Objective: to appraise the usefulness of the art therapies in the rehabilitation of patients after ictus.
Materials and methods: A prospective, longitudinal and retrospective study was carried out in the Military Hospital of Matanzas. The universe was formed by the patients with ictus-secondary hemiplegia fulfilling the research criteria. The 62 patients were divided into two groups that received the usual treatment and the ones in the study group also received art therapies. The Yesavage scale was applied to assess depression in the patients and the Barthel index to assess the independency in performing daily activities.
Results: depression and dependency in performing daily life activities decreased in most of the patients treated with art therapies, showing significant differences with the control group. 70.9 % of the patients treated with art therapies got a final evaluation of good; in the control group only 38.7 % of the patients got this evaluation.
Conclusions: art therapies were very useful in the rehabilitation of patients after ictus.
