Effect of Ultrasonic Pulse Electroconductivity Therapy Combined with Rehabilitation Training on Improving Limb Dysfunction in Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction

Abstract

Background Our study explores the improvement effect of ultrasonic pulse electroconductivity therapy combined with rehabilitation training on limb dysfunction in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods A total of 120 ACI patients admitted to our hospital from September 2018 to January 2019 were included and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. Patients in control group received rehabilitation training, and patients in observation group received ultrasonic pulse electroconductivity therapy on the basis of treatment in control group. The clinical efficacy, Fug-Meyer motor function score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, adverse reactions, complications, and family satisfaction in the two groups were compared. Results 4 and 8 weeks after treatment, Fug-Meyer motor function score in two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment (P<0.05), and the score in the observation group was obviously higher than that in control group (P<0.05). 4 and 8 weeks after treatment, NIHSS score in both groups was visibly lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and the score in observation group was apparently lower than that in control group (P<0.05). After 8 weeks of treatment, no adverse reactions or complications occurred, and family satisfaction was good in both groups. Conclusion Ultrasonic pulse electroconductivity therapy combined with rehabilitation training can improve the motor function of limbs as well as the prognosis of patients with ACI and reduce the degree of nerve defect.
