Effect of Meridian Scraping Therapy Combined with Rehabilitation Training on sEMG and Dynamics of Upper Limb of Hemiplegic Stroke by Zhiqiang HUANG, Ning ZHAO, Zhaoyuan SU, Jiafu SU, Qiang WU

“…The biceps and triceps sEMG values of IEMG in the ipsilateral elbow flexion and extension of the maximum isometric contraction were recorded, and the elbow flexion and extension moment and the corresponding co-contraction ratio were calculated before and after the treatment. Modified Ashworth scale, range of elbow joint motion and Fugl-Meyer assessment were applied to evaluate biceps brachii muscle tonus changes of spastic upper limb when the affected elbow flexion, range changes of elbow joint motion and recovery of motor function.Results:After the treatment, the elbow flexion and extension torque of both groups were higher than those before (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the co-contraction ratio was lower than that before (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”
