Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Digital Occupational Therapy (OT) System training under suspension on upper limb motor function after stroke. MethodsFrom February, 2021, to February, 2022, 90 stroke hemiplegic patients with upper limb motor dysfunction from the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College were randomly divided into routine group (n = 30), digital OT group (n = 30) and suspension group (n = 30). All the groups received routine upper limb rehabilitation, medication, and routine OT, while the digital OT group received the upper limb training of Digital OT System and the suspension group received the upper limb training of Digital OT System with the upper limb suspended. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessement-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and four weeks after treatment, while the mean electromyography (AEMG), root mean square (RMS), median frequency (MF) and mean power frequency (MPF) of the radial extensor carpi dorsi muscle during contraction were measured with surface electromyography (sEMG). ResultsThe FMA-UE score, MBI score, AEMG, RMS, MF and MPF improved after treatment in all the groups (|t| > 9.202, P < 0.001), and all the indexes were the best in the suspension group (F > 8.791, P < 0.001). ConclusionDigital OT System training under suspension can promote the recovery of upper limb motor function for stroke patients, as well as the activities of daily living and the upper limb muscle function.
