| Objective：To study the effect of electromyography (EMG)-triggered neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) on stroke patients with shoulder subluxation. Methods: Sixty stroke patients with shoulder subluxation were randomly divided into 3 groups (A, B, and C) with 20 cases in each group. All groups received normal rehabilitation therapy. Group B received extra NMES therapy, and group C received EMG-triggered NMES therapy besides. Before and after the therapy, X-ray examination, palpation on bilateral shoulders and Fugl-Meyer test with upper limb (FMA) were used to evaluate the recovery of the upper limb. Results: After the treatment for 6 weeks, recovery rate in group C was significantly higher than in groups A and B (45%, 15% and 25% respectively, P<0.05). The FMA scores in three groups after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment, and those in group C were significantly increased as compared with groups A and B (P<0.05). Conclusion: As compared with the routine therapy and NMES therapy, EMG-triggered NMES therapy is more effective on stroke patients with shoulder subluxation. |
