Abstract：Objective Exploring the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)combined with suspension training(SET)on balance function in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods According to the random number table method,participants were divided into a conventional group(n=30),a magnetic stimula-tion group(n=30),and a combination group(n=30).The conventional group only received conventional rehabilita-tion treatment,while the magnetic stimulation group received additional l Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stim-ulation treatment on the healthy side in addition to conventional rehabilitation treatment;The joint group received additional 1Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with suspension training on the healthy side on the basis of routine rehabilitation training.Before and after 4 weeks of treatment,patients were evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Modified Barthel Index(MBI),and average surface electromyography(AEMG)and median frequency(MF)of the erector spinae muscle.Results After treatment,the patient's BBS score,MBI score,AEMG value,and MF value all showed significant improvement compared to before treatment,and the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Among them,the BBS score,MBI score,AEMG value,and MF val-ue of the combination group after treatment were higher than those of the conventional group and the magnetic stimulation group(P＜0.05).The magnetic stimulation group was higher than the conventional group(P＜0.05).Conclusion rTMS combined with SET can improve the erector spinae muscle AEMG in stroke patients The MF value and BBS and MBI scores can improve the trunk muscle movement function of stroke patients,thereby enhancing balance function and daily living activity ability,and are worthy of clinical promotion and application.
