Correlation analysis between two electrophysiological detection methods of pelvic floor muscle in female patients with stroke
Objective To analyze the correlation between Glazer pelvic floor surface electromyography(sEMG)and traditional sEMG evaluation indexes in female patients after stroke.Methods From May 2020 to December 2021,50 female stroke patients(29 cases of cerebral infarction and 21 cases of cerebral hemorrhage)were enrolled.Traditional sEMG and Glazer pelvic floor sEMG were used to record the averaged electromyography(AEMG),root mean square(RMS),maximum value of rapid contraction,average value of continuous contraction and average value of durable contraction of pelvic floor muscle during active contraction,and the correlation between different electromyography indexes was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in the pelvic floor electromyography indexes(AEMG,RMS,the maximum value of rapid contraction,the average value of continuous contraction and the average value of durable contraction)between patients with cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage(P>0.05).AEMG and RMS of stroke patients were correlated with the maximum value of rapid contraction,the average value of continuous contraction and the average value of durable contraction(P<0.01);the AEMG and RMS of patients with cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage were correlated with the maximum value of rapid contraction,the average value of continuous contraction and the average value of durable contraction(P<0.05).Conclusion There is a correlation between the AEMG and RMS of traditional sEMG evaluation indicators and the parameters of each contraction stage in the Glazer pelvic floor sEMG evaluation,and the former can be widely used in the evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function and prognosis in female patients after stroke.
