Abstract:
Objective To explore effect of Yiqi-Huoxue decoction in combination with exercise rehabilitation therapy on functional recovery of hemiplegic limbs and surface electromyography (Surface electromyography,sEMG) during cerebral infarction convalescence.Methods According to random number table,80 cerebral infarction patients in convalescence stage who met the inclusion criteria were divided into the combination therapy group and rehabilitation therapy group,40 in each group.Rehabilitation therapy group received hemiplegia rehabilitation therapy;combination therapy group took Yiqi-Huoxue decoction on the basis of rehabilitation treatment.The 2 groups were treated for 3 months.In hemiplegic upper limb,Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was scored and Root Mean Square (RMS) and Median Frequency (MDF) of sEMG on biceps brachii were tested before and after each course of treatment respectively.Results After 1-,2-,or 3-month treatment,FMA score of combination therapy group was significantly higher than that of rehabilitation therapy group (t=2.702,4.595,4.444,respectively;all P＜0.01).At 2 or 3 months after treatment,the RMS of combination therapy group (t=7.188,5.405,respectively;all P＜0.01) and the MDF (t=3.336,4.584,respectively;all P＜0.01) were significantly higher than that of rehabilitation therapy group.Conclusions The Yiqi-Huoxue decoction in combination with exercise rehabilitation therapy can improve motor function and muscle tension of hemiplegic limbs during cerebral infarction convalescence.
