- Original description
Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of death and disability. It can cause a variety of motor disorders, such as apraxia, sensory deficits, abnormal muscle tone, inadequate weight transfer, lack of fine motor skills, incoordination, and balance deficit. These disorders can have a significant negative impact on a person's quality of life.Read full original descriptionShow less
Combined Effects of Segmental Vibrator With Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Dorsiflexors on Lower Limb Function in Subacute Stroke
Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of death and disability. It can cause a variety of motor disorders, such as apraxia, sensory deficits, abnormal muscle tone, inadequate weight transfer, lack of fine motor skills, incoordination, and balance deficit. These disorders can have a significant negative impact on a person's quality of life.
Inclusion: Both male and female patients were included in the study; The age range of participants was between 45 and 60 years; Participants that were diagnosed with ischemic stroke patient; Participants had experienced sub-acute ischemic stroke, specifically 15 days to 12 weeks post-stroke; Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores falling within the range of 18-24 were necessary; Modified Ashworth scale scores had to be less than +1; National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score falling within the range of 1 to 15 were necessary; Participants feel no pain from the vibrator; It was anticipated that participants would either be able to give informed consent or have a legal representative who could do so.
Exclusion: Individuals undergoing anti-spatial therapy or other clinical trials, those with bilateral brain lesions, and those with ischemic involvement of the cerebellum or basal ganglia were not allowed to participate; People who had a history of serious neurological or mental conditions that would have impeded lower limb motor recovery-aside from stroke-were not included; Individuals with severe arthritis or joint injuries, among other illnesses that would have interfered with treatment or evaluations, were not allowed to participate; Participants having metal implants e. g cardiac pacemaker and skin lesion at the site of stimulation electrodes were excluded; Individuals who had significant hearing or vision impairments that would have hampered treatment or evaluations were not included.
