The efficacy of electromyogram triggered trancutaneous electric nerve stimulation for improving early hemiplegic limbs in the patients with cerebral infarction
Abstract：Objective:To assess the efficacy of electomyogram triggered trancutaneous electric nerve stimulation(ETTENS) for improving early hemiplegic limbs in the patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:32 patients Who attacked within one week were attributed to observing group(OG) or control group(CG) at random (16 cases each group).ETTENS was added to hemiplegic limbs of OG patients,but only moving hemiplegic limbs given to CG patients.Stroke impairment assessment set (SIAS) scores(limbs) and Barthel Indices were summed up in pretreatment and posttreatment respectively.Results:Differences of partial SIAS scores or Barthel Indices between two groups of patients were significant statistically after treatment.Conclusion :That the hemiplegic patients resulted from cerebral infarction were treated with ETTENS as soon as possibly contributed to rehabilitation of patients.
