Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the changes of body composition indexes reflecting muscle condition for stroke hemiplegic patients after isokinetic strength training. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to April, 2022, 30 stroke inpatients with hemiplegia in Beichen Hospital of Nankai University were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and isokinetic group (n = 15). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation training, while the isokinetic group accepted isokinetic strength training of shoulder and elbow on the affected side in addition. All patients were tested the lean body mass, affected upper arm muscle circumference, affected upper limb muscle mass, edema index, skeletal muscle index before, and two weeks and four weeks after training. ResultsCompared with the control group, the edema index decreased in isokinetic group after training (t > 2.536, P < 0.05); the affected upper limb muscle mass increased more in the isokinetic group four weeks after training (t = -2.750, P = 0.010). ConclusionIsokinetic training can reduce edema and muscular disuse atrophy of the affected side for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
