Objective To explore the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation with knee control training on lower limb walking ability in stroke patients.Methods 50 patients with stroke hemiplegia treated in the rehabilitation department of our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were randomly divided into 25 groups of the observation group and 25 groups in the control group.The control group was given routine walking training.The observation group used the rhythmic auditory stimulation software to control the rhythm and strengthen the knee joint control training.Before training,2weeks after training and 4 weeks after training,patients were also scored and efficacied analysis with h Fugl-Meyer As-sessment-Lower Extremities(FMA-LE),Berg balance assessment(BBS),Maximum speed of 10 m(10 MWT),quality of life assessment questionnaire(GQOLI-74),modified Barthel Index(MBI)and the root mean square(RMS)of surface electromyography(sEMG)of four muscles of rectus femoris,hamstring,tibialis anterior,and gastrocnemius.Results After both treatment groups,the FMA-LE,BBS,10 MWT,GQOLI-74 scores,sEMG and MBI scores improved significantly(P<0.001),and the observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Rhythmic auditory stimulation with synchronized knee control training can improve the lower limb walking ability and lower limb related self-care ability.
