| Objective:To explore the effect of nerve mobilization techniques on lower limb movement function in patients with hemiplegia.Methods:Forty cases of patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into two groups,20 patients in each group.Both groups were treated with conventional drugs and rehabilitation training,and observation group given peripheral nerve mobilization techniques of lower limb additionally.10-m maximum walking speed,lower limb Fugle-Meyer assessment (FMA) on the hemiplegia side,the hamstrings and tibialis anterior muscle maximum isometric contraction EMG signal values (iEMG) were measured before and after treatment.Results:After treatment for 12 weeks,10-m maximum walking speed,FMA scores,and the hamstrings and tibialis anterior muscle iMEG were obvioulsy increased in both groups as compared with pretreatment (P<0.05),more significantly in observation group than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Nerve mobilization techniques can obtain more satisfactory effects in restoring lower limb movement function of patients with hemiplegia. |
