Effect of virtual reality technology based on surface electromyography evaluation on stroke patients with hemiplegia
Objective To explore the effect of virtual reality(VR)technology based on surface electromyography evaluation on stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods A total of 42 stroke patients with hemiplegia admitted to Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital from July 2021 to June 2023 were se-lected,and they were divided into operation group(21 cases)and VR group(21 cases)according to the random number table method.The operation group was given operation training,and VR group was given VR training.The therapeutic effect between two groups were compared;Fugl-Meyer assessment scale-upper extremities(FMA-UE),modified Barthel index(MBI),and values of root mean square amplitude of biceps brachii(BB),tri-ceps brachii(TB),and anterior deltoid(AD)during maximum autonomous isometric contraction before and after treatment between two groups were compared;and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded.Results The treatment effect of VR group was better than that of operation group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of FMA-UE,MBI and values of root mean square amplitude of BB,TB,and AD in two groups were higher than those before treatment,and those in VR group were higher than those in operation group(P<0.05).No obvious adverse reactions occurred in all patients during the treatment.Conclusion VR technology can improve the motor function of upper limbs of stroke patients with hemiplegia and im-prove the ability of daily living activities,and the treatment effect is better than traditional therapy,which is worthy of clinical promotion and appli-cation.
