Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of electromyography-triggered neuromuscular stimulation on rehabilitation of hemiplegia patient.Methods20 stroke patients following hemiplegia were treated with electromyography-triggered neuromuscular stimulation on base of routine physical therapy, occupational therapy. Myoelectricity value, active range of motion (AROM) of wrist dorsiflexion, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA) of upper extremity were assessed before and after the treatment.ResultsThe value of myoelectricity, AROM of wrist dorsiflexion, and FMA of upper extremity have significant statistical improvement (P<0.05) after the treatment.ConclusionElectromyography-triggered neuromuscular stimulation has positive effect on recovery of hemiplegic upper extremity.
