Abstract

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of motor imagery (MI) combined with whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy on elderly patients with post-stroke limb dysfunction.

Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study. Elderly stroke patients with limb dysfunction were divided into a control group (traditional rehabilitation training) and an observation group (MI combined with WBV therapy). Outcomes assessed included upper limb muscle strength/function, event-related potentials (P300), gait indicators, balance, and self-care ability before and after the intervention.

Results: There were a total of 139 patients, with 67 in the control group and 72 in the observation group. After intervention, the upper limb muscle strength and function, event-related potentials, gait indicators, balance ability, and self-care ability of both groups improved compared to before intervention, and the observation group was better than the control group.

Conclusion: The combination of MI and WBV therapy was superior to traditional rehabilitation alone in improving limb function, cognitive responses (P300), gait, balance, and self-care ability in elderly stroke patients.

运动想象联合全身振动疗法治疗老年脑卒中后肢体功能障碍的临床疗效。

目的：探讨运动想象（MI）联合全身振动（WBV）治疗老年脑卒中后肢体功能障碍的临床疗效。方法：回顾性病例对照研究。老年脑卒中肢体功能障碍患者分为对照组（传统康复训练）和观察组（MI联合WBV治疗）。评估的结果包括干预前后上肢肌力/功能、事件相关电位（P300）、步态指标、平衡和自我护理能力。结果：共139例患者，对照组67例，观察组72例。干预后，两组患者上肢肌力与功能、事件相关电位、步态指标、平衡能力、自理能力均较干预前改善，且观察组优于对照组。结论：心肌梗死与脑卒中联合治疗在改善老年脑卒中患者肢体功能、认知反应（P300）、步态、平衡和生活自理能力方面优于单纯传统康复治疗。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas. A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal. As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
