Effect of neuromuscular facilitation combined with faradism on limbs motor function in hemiplegic patients with stroke / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo explore the effect of neuromuscular facilitation combined with faradism on limbs motor function in hemiplegic patient with early stroke.Methods108 patients were randomly divided into the therapy group(who accepted neuromuscular facilitation combined with faradism) and control group (who accepted neuromuscular facilitation only). The limbs motor function was evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after 10 weeks by the same doctor. ResultsThere were not significant difference of scores of FMA between the two groups before rehabilitation(P>0.05), but there were significant difference 10 weeks after rehabilitation(P<0.01). ADL in therapy group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01).ConclusionFaradism can significantly improve the effect of neuromuscular facilitation on limbs motor function and ADL.
