Effect of whole body vibration training on balance function of stroke patients with hemiplegia / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical effect of whole body vibration training on stroke patients with hemiplegia and its effect on patients'balance function.Methods Eighty-six stroke patients with hemiplegia admitted to the Second Hospital of Jiaxing from June 2017 to December 2018 were divided into control group (43 cases)and observation group (43 cases) by random number table method.The control group received routine training,while the observation group received whole body vibration training on the basis of the control group.Both two groups were treated for 12 weeks.The changes of upper limb motor function,daily living ability and Berg balance scale (BBS)scores before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the FMA scores of the control group and the observation group were (37.89 ± 5.34)points and (49.61 ± 5.47)points,respectively,which were higher than before intervention (observation groupt =21.706,control groupt =10.272,all P ＜0.05).The FMA score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (t =10.054,P ＜0.05).The improved Barthel index (MBI) scores of the observation group and the control group were (68.98 ± 7.91)points and(52.15 ± 6.87) points,respectively,which were higher than those before intervention (observation groupt =22.170,control groupt =10.119,all P ＜ 0.05).The MBI score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (t =10.534,P ＜ 0.05).The BBS scores of the observation group and the control group were (59.98 ±6.47) points and (48.98 ± 3.71) points,respectively,which were higher than those before intervention (observation groupt =20.820,control groupt =13.877,all P ＜0.05).The BBS score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (t =9.672,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Whole body vibration training has good clinical effect on stroke patients with hemiplegia,and it can improve upper limb motor function,daily living ability and balance function.
