Abstract:

Objective To observe the effect of myoelectricity triggering biofeedback on the rehabilitation of cerebral infarction patient's early hemiplegia, and to evaluate its clinical curative effcet. Methods 653 patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into control group(n=257) and therapeutic group(n=396) according to the will of the patients.The patients in two groups accepted conventional therapy at the same time, and the patients in therapeutic group were divided into two subgroups: neural muscle electrical stimulus(NMES)(n=275) and myoelectricity triggering biofeedback(MTB) subgroups(n=121).The neurologic impairment degree and motor function of the patients in two groups were evaluated with NIHSS and FMA 7 d before treatment, 7 d after treatment, and at the end of treatment.At the same time, the activities of daily living(ADL) of the patients were evaluated with BI. Results There were no significant differences in the scores of NIHSS, FMA and ADL of the patients before treatment between two groups(P>0.05).Compared with before treatment, the scores of the patients in therapeutic group were significantly improved(P<0.01).Compared with NMES group, the scores of the patients in MTB group were significantly improved(P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitative care of cerebral infarction patient's early hemiplegia with MTB can promote the function of the hemiplegia limbs to resume, and improve patient's activity of daily living.The curative effect of MTB is superior to the NMES.
