Analysis of the Effect of Limb Rehabilitation Therapy Combined with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy on Muscle Activity in Patients with Upper Limb Dysfunction After Cerebral Infarction

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of limb rehabilitation therapy combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy on muscle activity in patients with upper limb dysfunction after cerebral infarction (CI). Methods: 320 patients with upper limb dysfunction after CI were selected, all of whom were treated in our hospital between June 2021 and June 2023. They were randomly grouped according to the lottery method into the control group (limb rehabilitation therapy, 160 cases) and the intervention group (transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy + limb rehabilitation therapy, 160 cases).The upper limb function scores, neuro-electrophysiological indicators, daily living ability scores, and quality of life scores of the two groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, upper limb function scores and daily living ability scores in the intervention group were higher after treatment, and the neuro-electrophysiological indicators of the intervention group were lower after treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy combined with limb rehabilitation therapy has significant effects in patients with upper limb dysfunction after CI and is worthy of promotion and application.
