| Objective: To observe the effects of inflatable splint combined with progressive upper limb strength training on upper limb function and activities of daily living (ADL) in hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods: Forty stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into control group and treatment group (n=20 each). Both groups were given routine rehabilitation treatment, the control group was given progressive upper limb exercise training, and the treatment group was given progressive upper limb exercise training by using inflatable splint to control the freedom of movement of upper limb joints. Before and after 6 weeks of treatment, the upper extremity portion of the Fugl Meyer motor assessment(FMA-UE), Motor Force Index (MI) and Barthel Index (BI) were used for evaluation. Results: After 6 weeks of treatment, the scores of FMA-UE, MI and BI in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (all P<0.05), and the scores in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05).Conclusions: Inflatable splint combined with progressive upper limb exercise training can improve upper limb motor function and ADL in stroke patients with hemiplegia. |
