Abstract

Objectives: The proposal of the present study is based on mobilizing the nervous system of the upper hemiplegic limb of stroke victims using the Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test (ULNT 1) and electromyographic analysis of the biceps brachii muscle.

Methods: A pre-experimental study was carried out with pretest and posttest repeated measurements on five stroke victims (4 men and 1 woman; mean age: 52.8 +/- 11 years), with Grade 1 and + 1 spasticity, according to the modified Ashworth scale. Electromyographic analysis of the biceps brachii muscle was performed with the elbow flexed at 90 degrees, following by complete extension.

Results: The neurodynamic test led to a decrease in electromyographic activity in the biceps brachii muscle (p < or = 0.05).

Conclusion: Neural mobilization was efficient in reducing myoelectric activity in the biceps brachii muscle in patients with stroke and may used by physiotherapists as an efficient method for treating patients with this pathology.

目的:本研究的建议是基于使用上肢神经动力学测试(ULNT 1)和肱二头肌肌电图分析来动员中风患者上半身瘫痪肢体的神经系统。方法:对5例脑卒中患者(4男1女;平均年龄:52.8±11岁)，根据改良Ashworth量表分为1级和+ 1级痉挛。肱二头肌肌电图分析是在肘关节屈曲90度，然后完全伸展的情况下进行的。结果:神经动力学试验导致肱二头肌肌电活动降低(p <或= 0.05)。结论:神经活动可有效降低脑卒中患者肱二头肌的肌电活动，物理治疗师可将其作为治疗脑卒中患者的有效方法。
