Clinical Study of Mirror Therapy Combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation for Upper Limb Motor Dysfunction in Patients with Stroke by LI Xiuli, JI Jinglei, DU Xiaomin, XIN Hui, DOU Lihui, LI Peng

“…Before and after treatment, Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity (FMA-UE), Wolf motor function test (WMFT) and Brunnstrom hemiplegia stage were used to evaluate the motor function of upper limbs of patients with stroke; functional independence measure (FIM) was used to evaluate the functional independence; modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to assess the activities of daily living of patients; and color ultrasound diagnostic instrument was used to measure the cross sectional area (CSA) and circumference of thenar muscles.Results(1) Motor function of upper limbs: compared with those before treatment, FMA-UE, WMFT and Brunnstrom hemiplegia stage scores of both groups after treatment significantly improved, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the control group, FMA-UE, WMFT and Brunnstrom hemiplegia stage scores in the observation group after treatment were significantly higher, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) FIM and MBI scores: compared with those before treatment, the FIM and MBI scores of both groups after treatment significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the control group, the FIM and MBI scores of the observation group after treatment were significantly higher, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).
