Abstract

In this study we have evaluated the efficacy of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in the rehabilitation of spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) children, by surface electromyographic (sEMG) analysis of the Tibialis Anterior (TA) muscles. Ten children with spastic diaplegic/hemiplegic cerebral palsy within the age group of 5 to 14 years received both FES for 30 minutes and the conventional physiotherapy for 30 minutes a day, for 5 days a week, up to 12 weeks. The measurement of electromyography (EMG) of both the baseline (at the initiation) and post treatment (after intervention) were obtained. These data were analysed for both amplitude and frequency related parameters. The results report a rise in Root Mean Square (RMS), Mean Absolute Value (MAV), EMG peak amplitude and Integrated EMG (IEMG) values. Improvement was also seen in Median Frequency (MDF), Mean Frequency (MNF) and the total power of the EMG power spectrum. Hence we can conclude that FES combined with conventional physiotherapy improves the muscle strength in spastic CP children.

胫骨前肌表肌电图分析FES在脑瘫患儿康复中的作用

在这项研究中，我们通过对胫骨前肌(TA)的表面肌电图(sEMG)分析，评估了功能性电刺激(FES)在痉挛型脑瘫(CP)儿童康复中的疗效。10例5 ~ 14岁的痉挛性瘫痪/偏瘫性脑瘫患儿，每天接受30分钟的FES治疗和30分钟的常规物理治疗，每周5天，持续12周。测量基线(开始时)和治疗后(干预后)的肌电图(EMG)。对这些数据进行幅度和频率相关参数的分析。结果显示，平均均方根(RMS)、平均绝对值(MAV)、肌电信号峰值幅度和综合肌电信号(IEMG)值均有所上升。中位频率(MDF)、平均频率(MNF)和肌电功率谱的总功率也有改善。因此，我们可以得出结论，FES联合常规物理治疗可提高痉挛性脑瘫儿童的肌肉力量。
