Abstract:
Objective A study of the therapeutic effect of the treatment of biceps brachii spasticity in hemiplegic patients with stroke by radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with spastic muscle electrical stimulation.Methods Select 98 cases of biceps spasticity hemiplegic patients admitted and intervened in rehabili-tation in the Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University from June 2022 to June 2024,and randomly assign the patients to two different groups,each with 49 cases,using a random method.The controlled group received spastic muscle electrical stimulation treatment for the affected upper limb biceps(the"Controlled Group"),while the observa-tion group received radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with spastic muscle electrical stimulation treatment(the"Observation Group").After two months of intervention,the changes in muscle tone,activities of daily living,quality of life,improvement in motor function performance,as well as rehabilitation satisfaction and compliance were compared between the two groups.Results After the intervention,the modified Barthel index and the upper limb FMA scores of the Controlled Group were lower than those of the Observation Group(P<0.05);the muscle tone assessment MAS scale score of the Controlled Group was higher than that of the Observation Group(P<0.05);the rehabilitation satisfaction and compliance of the Controlled Group were lower than those of the Observation Group(P<0.05);the quality of life scores in all aspects of the Controlled Group were lower than those of the Observation Group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with spastic muscle electrical stimulation treatment in treating biceps spasticity in hemiplegic patients with stroke can reduce the muscle tone of the patient′s biceps,alleviate spasticity,enhance the patient's motor performance and self-care ability,as well as improve their overall quality of life,and there is no concomitant medication,which is highly safe and worth promoting.
