| Objective: To investigate whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electromyography triggered stimulation is superior to simple electromyography triggered stimulation in the treatment of foot drop in stroke patients. Methods: According to the different treatment methods, 120 patients who met the standards were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=40 each). The patients in group A were treated with electromyography triggered stimulation, those in group B were given repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and electromyography triggered stimulation, and those in group C were subjected to electromyography triggered stimulation and ineffective repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Muscle force of ankle dorsiflexion was evaluated with hand held dynamometer; electromyogram of isometric contraction of anterior tibialis anterior under maximum ankle dorsiflexion was assessed with Muscle Tester; gait parameters were assessed with 3D gait analysis system. Results: Muscle force of ankle dorsiflexion and iEMG and gait parameters of three groups were significantly improved at the end of 8 weeks (P＜0.05), and those in group B were superior to group A and group C (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect between groups A and B (P＞0.05). Conclusion: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electromyography triggered stimulation is superior to simple electromyography triggered stimulation in the treatment of foot drop in stroke patients. |
