Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the impact of virtual reality-based multimodal neurorehabilitation technology combined with mirror therapy and low-frequency pulsed electrical stimulation on the hand function recovery of patients with hemiplegia due to stroke.

Methods

A total of 248 patients with hemiplegia due to stroke who received rehabilitation treatment in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Jiangsu Provincial (Suqian) Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into a study group and a control group using a random number table method, with 124 cases in each group. The control group received treatment with mirror therapy combined with lowfrequency pulsed electrical stimulation, while the study group added virtual reality technology on this basis. The hand function and activities of daily living were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessmentupper extremity scale (FMA-UE), grip strength test, and the modified Barthel index (MBI). Follow up for 6 months, the incidence of complications in 2 groups of patients were recorded.

Results

The study group showed significantly greater improvements in FMA-UE scores, grip strength, and MBI scores compared to the control group (P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Virtual reality-based multimodal neurorehabilitation technology combined with mirror therapy and low-frequency pulsed electrical stimulation can effectively promote the recovery of hand function and daily living abilities in stroke patients.
