Effect of Surface Electromyogram Biofeedback Stimulation on Lower Limb Function with Stroke Hemiplegia

Objective To explore the effect of surface electromyogram biofeedback stimulation on lower limb function of stroke hemi-plegic patients.Methods 30 stroke patients following hemiplegia were divided into 2 groups: observation group(n=15) and control group(n=15).2 groups were given conventional rehabilitation training.The observation group added surface electromyogram biofeedback stimula-tion training,while the control group added acupuncture.Brunnstrom's recovery stages,the Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA) and electromyo-graphic parameters were assessed before and 4 courses after the treatment.Results Both groups had significantly higher Brunnstrom's and FMA scores and better integrated electromyogram(P0.05),but the observation group was significantly better than the control group after the treatment(P0.05).Conclusion Surface electromyogram biofeedback stimulation training can facilitate to provide satisfactory rehabili-tation effects for lower limb function of hemiplegic stroke patients.
