Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of wrist-hand orthosis combined with modified constraint-induced movement therapy(mCIMT)on upper limb and hand function in patients with stroke. Methods From February,2022 to December,2023,32 patients after stroke in Huashan Hospital,Fudan University were randomly assigned to control group(n=16)and experimental group(n=16).Both groups underwent routine re-habilitation,and wore constraint glove almost four hours a day.The experimenal group wore dynamic wrist-hand orthosis four hours everyday,additionally;five days every week,for three weeks.They were evaluated with Wolf Motor Function Test(WMFT),Action Reach Arm Test(ARAT),the strength of gripping,Amount of Use(AOU)and Quality of Movement(QOM)of Motor Activity Log(MAL),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)and Hamil-ton Depression Scale(HAMD)before and after treatment,while root mean square ratio of affected/healthy exten-sor muscle of wrist was measured with surface electromyography Results After treatment,the scores of WMFT,ARAT,MAL-QOM,HAMA and the root mean square ratio of affected/healthy extensor muscle of wrist improved in both groups(|t|＞2.179,P＜0.05),and the improvement of WMFT score and the strength of gripping was greater in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|＞2.343,P＜0.05);the strength of gripping,the scores of MAL-AOU and HAMD improved in the experimental group(|t|＞2.819,P＜0.05). Conclusion mCIMT assisted with dynamic wrist-hand orthosis could improve upper limb and hand function in stroke pa-tients.
