Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of rehabilitation on radial nerve injury.Methods 20 patients with radial nerve injury were included.The involved muscles were stimulated with NMR-muscular restorer for 10～15 min per muscle combined with kinesitherapy for 20～30 min.The patients were followed up for 12～30 months.Results 15 cases with no-operation recovered to 16 marks,which means excellent,3.5～18 months after rehabilitation.3 case after nerve exploration recovered to 16 marks in 1 case and 15 marks in 2 cases.1 case after neuro-anastomosis recovered to 6 marks,which means improved,6 months after rehabilitation.1 case after radial nerve graft recovered to 4 marks,which means no-improved after 12 months follow-up.Conclusion Neuromuscular electrotherapy combined with kinesitherapy is effective on radial nerve injury.
