Abstract:

Objective

To explore the rehabilitation effect of isokinetic trainer combined with mirror image therapy on spastic hemiplegia after cerebral infarction.

Methods

One hundred and forty-eight patients with spastic hemiplegia after cerebral infarction who were treated in our hospital from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group (routine rehabilitation treatment, 37 cases), upper limb group (routine rehabilitation + mirror therapy treatment, 37 cases), lower limb group (routine rehabilitation + isokinetic trainer treatment, 37 cases) and combination group (routine rehabilitation+mirror therapy+isokinetic trainer treatment, 37 cases). The muscle strength scores of upper limbs and lower limbs, motor functions of upper limbs and lower limbs and the muscle tension of upper and lower limbs before and after treatment, rehabilitation effects, quality of life scores before and 3 months after treatment were compared among the four groups.

Results

After treatment, the scores of muscle strength scores of biceps brachii of upper extremity and quadriceps femoris of the lower extremity and the motor function scores and total scores of the upper limbs and lower limbs of the four groups were increased (P<0.05), and the scores of biceps brachii of upper extremity muscle strength and motor function of upper limb in upper limb group after treatment and combined group were higher than those in control group and lower limb group (P<0.05), and the scores of quadriceps femoris of the lower extremity muscle strength and motor function of lower limbs in lower limb group and combined group after treatment were higher than those in control group and upper limb group (P<0.05). The total scores of upper limb and lower limb motor function in the combined group, upper limb group and lower limb group after treatment were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the total scores of upper limb and lower limb motor function in the combined group after treatment were higher than those in the upper limb group and lower limb group (P<0.05). After treatment, the modified Ashworth spasm scale scores of upper and lower limbs in four groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the modified Ashworth spasm scale scores of upper and lower limbs among the four groups after treatment (P>0.05). The total effective rate of the combined group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). At 3 months after treatment, the scores of qauality life of the four groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), of which the combination group were higher than the other three groups (P<0.05), and those of upper limb group and lower limb group were higher than the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The isokinetic trainer combined with mirror image therapy can improve the muscle strength and motor function of upper limbs and lower limbs of patients with spastic hemiplegia after cerebral infarction, enhance the rehabilitation effect and improve the quality of life.
