Effect of Electromyographic Biofeedback Combined with Acupuncture on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia
Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of electromyographic biofeedback combined with Acupuncture on upper limb function of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.Methods Sixty patients with stroke were divided into control group (n=30)treated with conventional rehabilitation and acupuncture treatment,and the treatment group (EMG biofeedback group,n=30)treated with con-ventional rehabilitation,acupuncture treatment and EMG biofeedback treatment.After treatment,hemiplegic side wrist active dorsi-flexion range of motion (AROM)and dorsal carpal extensor contraction amplitude of EMG were detected.The upper extremity motor function was assessed by Fugl Meyer motor function scale (FMA).Results After treatment,the maximum contraction of AROM, dorsal muscle paralysis side wrist,the amplitude of EMGG,FMA scores were significantly improved (P<0.01)in all patient and that in treatment group was better than the that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The electromyographic biofeedback combined with acupuncture could significantly promote the upper limb movement function recovery in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
