Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)com-bined with rehabilitation robot on balance function and motor ability of stroke patients.Method:Sixty stroke patients with hemiplegia who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the rT-MS group(group A),the lower limb robot group(group B)and the rTMS combined with lower limb robot group(group C),with 20 subjects in each group.All the three groups also received conventional rehabilita-tion treatment for 4 weeks.The Berg balance scale(BBS)and Pro-kin balance test were used to evaluate the balance function of the three groups before and after treatment.The Fugl-Meyer assessment of lower extremity motor function(FMA-L)and functional ambulation category(FAC)scale were used to evaluate the patients'lower extremity function and walking ability.Result:Before treatment,there was no significant difference in BBS,balance test,FMA-L and FAC among the three groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the BBS,balance test,FMA-L and FAC of the three groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).The improvement of the BBS,bal-ance test,FMA-L and FAC in group C was significantly higher than that in group A and group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Low frequency rTMS combined with lower limb rehabilitation robot has a significant effect on bal-ance function and motor ability in stroke patients.
