Effects of Low Frequency Electrical Stimulation Combined with Unstable Surface Trunk Training on Urination Condition and Lower Limb Function in Patients with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Objective To investigate the effects of low frequency electrical stimulation combined with unstable surface trunk training on urination condition and lower limb function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.Methods 80 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury admitted to Guanyun County People's Hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received routine rehabilitation training,and the observation group received low frequency electrical stimulation combined with unstable surface trunk training.Urinary status,lower limb muscle strength,lower limb function and balance function were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the average daily urination frequency and verage daily urination incontinence frequency of both groups were decreased,and the observation group was less than the control group,and the average daily single urination volume of both groups was increased,and the observation group was more than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The lower limb muscle strength of both groups was improved,and the observation groups were better than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of Fugl-Meyer motor Function Rating Scale and Berg Balance Scale were increased in both groups,and the observation group was higher than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Low frequency electrical stimulation combined with unstable surface trunk training can improve urination condition and lower limb muscle strength,and enhance lower limb function and balance function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.
