Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effect of action observation therapy training assisted by dynamic wrist-hand orthosis on hand function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Methods

A total of 40 patients with hemiplegic hand dysfunction after stroke in the Neurorehabilitation Department of Suzhou Ruisheng Rehabilitation Hospital from March 2017 to September 2020 were randomly divided into control group (20 cases) and observation group (20 cases). The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment and action observation therapy training. The observation group received conventional rehabilitation therapy and action observation therapy training assisted by dynamic wrist-hand orthosis. Before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment, the flexor tone was assessed with the improved modified Ashworth scale (MAS), and the wrist and hand motor function was assessed with the Fugl-Meyer assessment-upper extremities (FMA-UE) motor function scale, modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to assess the ability of daily living.

Results

The scores of MAS in 2 groups were significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05), The score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of FMA-UE and MBI in 2 groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Action observation therapy training assisted by dynamic wrist-hand orthosis can improve hand motor function and activities of daily living in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
