Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of neural mobilization based on shoulder control training on shoulder pain and upper limb function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsFrom January, 2020 to November, 2021, 43 patients with hemiplegia after stroke in the Second People's Hospital of Nantong were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and treatment group (n = 22). The control group received shoulder control training, while the treatment group received neural mobilization in addition. Before and after four weeks of treatment, they were evaluated with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of pain and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE). ResultsOne case dropped off in the control group and two cases dropped off in the treatment group. After treatment, the NRS score and FMA-UE score improved in both groups (|t| >7.898, P < 0.001), and they were better in the treatment group than in the control group (|t| >2.337, P < 0.05). ConclusionNeural mobilization based on shoulder control training can significantly alleviate shoulder pain and improve upper limb motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
