Comparison Between Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to Abdominal and Back Muscles on Postural Balance in Post-stroke Hemiplegic Patients

Abstract: ObjectiveTo compare the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to abdominal muscles and back muscles on postural balance in post-stroke hemiplegic patients.MethodsThirty post-stroke hemiplegic patients were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the three groups: core muscle-strengthening exercise (CME) with NMES to abdominal muscles (group A), CME with NMES to back muscles (group B), and CME alone (group C). All subjects underwent their targeted interventions for 30 minutes eac… Show more

“…Patients with acute stroke are mostly older adults with loose skin with lack of elasticity, and subcutaneous fat atrophy. Patients with stroke are also prone to bedsores due to impaired consciousness, paralysis, being bedridden, psychological stress, malnutrition and are prone to pressure ulcers 44,45 . Once pressure ulcers develop, they are difficult to cure and often cause pain and complications in patients, leading to increased nursing workload, prolonged hospitalisation and can even lead to death 46,47 .…”

“…EMG data were recorded from the trunk and leg postural muscles using wireless surface EMG (sEMG) sensors (Ultium EMG, Noraxon, USA). The erector muscles of the trunk are important for trunk stability [24], therefore at the trunk the sensors were placed bilaterally at the Thoracic Erector Spinae (T6) (5 cm lateral to the T6 spinous process) and the Lumbar Erector Spinae (L5) (2 cm lateral to the L5 spinous process) [26], [27]. The leg posture can help stabilize the pelvis, consequently stabilizing the trunk [9], therefore at the legs the sensors were placed bilaterally at the Adductor Magnus (AM), Rectus Femoris (RF), Gastrocnemius: Lateral Head (GL) and Tibialis Anterior (TA) according to the prescribed guidelines [28].…”

“…In common, stroke causes paralysis of contralateral musculature, but as the trunk has bilateral representation, both contralateral and ipsilateral side trunk musculature will be affected [ 21 ]. Poor trunk posture and lack of stabilization of the scapula over the thorax affect the kinetics and kinematics of upper limb movement [ 22 , 23 ].…”
