Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation training on lower limb function in patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction
Objective:To investigate effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation training on lower limb function in patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 122 patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction admitted to the hospital from January 2019 to November 2023.According to the random number table method,they were divided into observation group and control group,61 cases in each group.The control group received routine rehabilitation training,while the observation group was treated with the neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the basis of that of the control group.The lower limb motor function[Fugl-Meyer motor assessment(FMA)]score,the balance ability[Berg balance scale(BBS)]score,the gait parameters(step length,stride length,pace),and the quality of life[general quality of life inventory(GQOLI-74)]score were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention,the FMA,BBS scores and GQOLI-74 scores of physical function,psychological function,social function,material life status and other dimensions in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the step length,stride length and stride speed were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation training can effectively improve the balance ability and the lower limb motor function of the patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction,improve the gait,and improve their quality of life.Moreover,it is superior to single routine rehabilitation training.
