Abstract

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of electromyography(EMG) biofeedback techniques on increasing muscle strength and EMG signal in the stroke patients. Methods 105 stroke patients were divided into two groups. All patients received conventional drug therapy. 55 cases in treatment group received the EMG biofeedback therapy. Each session lasted for 30 minutes,and 14 sessions was a course. Results Muscle strength and EMG signal were significant improved in the treatment group than in the control group (P 0.01). Conclusion The EMG biofeedback techniques can significantly increase both muscle strength and EMG signal of the stroke patients. It is beneficial to the rehabilitation of motor function in these patients.
