Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the impact of intelligent mirror gloves on the rehabilitation of upper limb function in stroke patients and the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),to provide an efficient treatment strategy for promoting the recovery of upper limb function after stroke.Method:Fifty patients with stroke were randomly divided into two groups(n=25 per group).The control group was given routine rehabilitation treatment,while the mirror group was combined with intelligent mirror glove task-oriented training.Before and after one course of treatment,the hand function of hemiplegic side was scored by Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity(FMA-UE),the Wolf Motor Function Test(Wolf)and Functional Independence Measure(FIM),and the hand strength of hemiplegic side was evaluated by the ratio of surface EMG amplitude(RMS)of forearm extensor and flexor muscle group(affected side/healthy side).Eli-sa method was used to detect the concentration of serum BDNF before and after treatment.Result:After treatment,both groups showed significant improvements in FMA-UE,Wolf,FIM and the RMS ratio of forearm extensor and flexor muscles(P<0.05).The mirror group exhibited significantly greater improve-ments in all these measures compared to the control group(P<0.05).After one course of treatment,the expres-sion of serum BDNF in the mirror group significantly increased,but there was no significant change in the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Intelligent mirror glove task-oriented training can effectively promote the recovery of upper limb function and improve the quality of life of patients in the early rehabilitation of stroke.The mechanism may in-volve the role of BDNF in promoting neural recovery.
