Application of neuromuscular activation technology in the postoperative muscle and strength rehabilitationin in the patients with the spinal cord injury
Objective To observe the effect of neuromuscular activation technology training on the postoperative rehabilitation in the patients with the spinal cord injury.Methods 105 patients with the spinal cord injury were randomly divided into the conventional group(52 cases)and training group(53 cases).The patients in both groups were received targeted muscle and nerve reconstruction surgery.The patients in the conventional group were received functional electrical stimulation therapy after surgery,while the patients in the training group were received a combination of neuromuscular activation technology training and functional electrical stimulation therapy.The changes in muscle strength,surface electromyographic signals,rehabilitation process,and functional recovery were compared between two groups patients.Results Under different treatment plans,the peak torque,acceleration energy,peak torque,and acceleration energy of the extensor muscle in the training group were higher than those in the control group,showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The electromyographic signals of the gastrocnemius,biceps,quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles in the training group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The time for getting out of bed,pain relief,hospitalization,and vertebral function recovery in the training group were all lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The ASIA motor scores and sensory scores in the training group were higher than those in the control group at 3,6 and 12 months of follow-up(P<0.05).Conclusion Neuromuscular activation technique training promotes the postoperative muscle strength and surface electromyographic signal recovery in the patients with the spinal cord injury,which has a positive significance in accelerating the patient's recovery process and improving spinal cord function.
