ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of MOTOmed intelligent training combined with spastic myoelectric stimulation in the treatment of lower limb muscle spasticity in stroke patients.
MethodsNinety-three stroke patients with posterior lower limb spasm were randomly divided into the conventional group (treated with conventional rehabilitation), electrical stimulation group (treated with conventional rehabilitation combined with spastic myoelectric stimulation) and MOTOmed group (treated with conventional rehabilitation, spastic myoelectric stimulation combined with MOTOmed intelligent training) (31 cases each group).The lower limb muscle tension, motor function and activities of daily living in three groups were evaluated using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment, and which among three groups was compared.
ResultsThe differences of the MAS, FMA and MBI scores in three groups between before and after treatment were statistically significant (P < 0.01).After treatment, the differences of the scores of MAS, FMA and MBI between MOTOmed group, and conventional and electrical stimulation groups were statistically significant (P < 0.01), and the treatment effect in MOTOmed group was significantly better than that in conventional and electrical stimulation groups (P < 0.01).
ConclusionsThe application of MOTOmed intelligent training combined with spastic myoelectric stimulation can significantly decrease the lower limb muscle tension, improve motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients with muscle spasticity.
