Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of enhanced external counter pulsation on motor function in patients with isch-emic stroke.Method:Sixty patients with ischemic stroke were selected and divided into experimental group(EECP group)and control group(sham EECP group)with a ratio of 1:1.The experimental group was treated with conven-tional hemiplegia rehabilitation training and enhanced external counterpulsation.The control group was treated with the same conventional hemiplegia rehabilitation training program and sham EECP.The following outcomes were observed before and after treatment in the two groups:simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA),Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Barthel Index(BI).Motor evoked potential(MEP),central conduction time(CMCT),and integral electromyographic(iEMG)of tibialis anterior muscle during isometric contraction during maximum dorsiflexion of the affected ankle were also examined.Result:After treatment,the FMA difference,MEP latency difference,CMCT difference,unit time iEMG and its difference of lower limb anterior tibial muscle in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Enhanced external counter pulsation therapy combined with conventional rehabilitation therapy can significantly improve the motor function of the affected side of the lower limb of patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery period,and there is no obvious adverse reaction.
