ABSTRACT
Objective] To study the effect of 50 hz frequency of electricity stimulating finger extensor tendon for hand dysfunction caused by incident storke. [Methods] 67 cases diagnosed as hand dysfunction of incident storke patients randomly divided into treatment group and control group(33 cases in treatment group, 34 cases in control group). The control group was given Bobath method for hand function recovery training. The treatment group was given 50 hz frequency of electricity stimulating finger extensor tendon on the basis of Bobath rehabilitation treatment, 5 times every week, for 4 weeks. Evaluate patients' symptoms improvement, before and after, with Fugl-Meyer grade(hand part) and modified Barthel index evaluation, and then make statistical analysis of the results. [Result] After the treatment,the grades, Fugl-Meyer grade(hand part) and modified Barthel index, of two groups both increased significantly, with statistical significance(P<0.01); Both of the grades of treatment group were significantly higher than that of control group, with statistical significance(P<0.01). [Conclusion] 50 hz electrical stimulating finger extensor tendon can significantly improve hand dysfunction caused by incident storke, improve their abilities of daily life.
