| Objective:To explore the effects of multi channel functional electrical stimulation (FES) on limb movement and balance function of early stroke patients and its mechanisms of brain plasticity.Methods:Eighteen cases of early stroke were randomly divided into FES group (n=10) and control group (n=8).Both groups received the same conventional therapy,FES group was given FES treatment based on a normal walking pattern design,and control group was given no electrical stimulation current output.Before and after treatment,Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA) for the lower extremity and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were assessed,and both groups of patients were given nuclear magnetic resonance diffuse tensor image (DTI) examination.Result:After treatment for three weeks,FMA and BBS assessment scores in both groups were significantly increased,more significantly in FES group than in control (P<0.05 for all).The DTI in FES group was improved significantly after treatment,and there was no obvious improvement of DTI in control group.Conclusion:FES can improve motor function and balance function of the patients with early stroke,and also can promote the reorganization of brain function. |
