| Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of EMG biofeedback combined with knee joint control training on lower limb motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods: Totally, 60 hemiplegic patients with stroke were randomly divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients in both groups received routine rehabilitation treatment. Patients in the observation group received EMG biofeedback combined with knee joint control training once a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks on the basis of the control group. Before and 4 weeks after treatment, the motor function of lower extremities was evaluated by simplified Fugl-Meyer scale (Fugl-Meyer), balance function was assessed by Berg balance scale (BBS), and walking ability was evaluated by Holden walking function classification (FAC). Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the scores of Fugl-Meyer, BBS and FAC in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment, and the scores of Fugl-Meyer, BBS and FAC in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: EMG biofeedback combined with knee joint control training can improve lower limb motor function, balance ability and walking ability of stroke patients. |
