Compared with the control group, the clinical total effective rate and the cortical potential rise rate of the upper limbs were significantly higher, the central motor conduction time of upper limb was significantly shorter, and the upper limb motor-evoked potential amplitude was significantly increased, in the ozone group. In the ozone group, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Score was positively correlated with the central motor conduction time and the motor-evoked potential amplitude of the upper limb. Central motor conduction time and motor-evoked potential amplitude of the upper limb may be effective indicators of motor-evoked potentials to assess upper limb motor function in cerebral infarct patients. Furthermore, major ozonated autohemotherapy may promote motor function recovery of the upper limb in patients with acute cerebral infarction.展开更多

Most virtual reality studies have involved chronic stroke patients; however, brain plasticity remains good in acute and subacute patients. Most virtual reality systems are only applicable to the proximal upper limbs （arms） because of the limitations of their capture systems. Nevertheless, the functional recovery of an affected hand is most difficult in the case of hemiparesis rehabilitation after a stroke. The recently developed Leap Motion controller can track the fine movements of both hands and fingers. Therefore, the present study explored the effects of a Leap Motion-based virtual reality system on subacute stroke. Twenty-six subacute stroke patients were assigned to an experimental group that received virtual reality training along with conventional occupational rehabilitation, and a control group that only received conventional rehabilitation. The Wolf motor func- tion test （WMFT） was used to assess the motor function of the affected upper limb; functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the cortical activation. After four weeks of treatment, the motor functions of the affected upper limbs were significantly improved in all the patients, with the improvement in the experimental group being significantly better than in the control group. The action perfor- mance time in the WMFT significantly decreased in the experimental group. Furthermore, the activation intensity and the laterality index of the contralateral primary sensorimotor cortex increased in both the experimental and control groups. These results confirmed that Leap Motion-based virtual reality training was a promising and feasible supplementary rehabilitation intervention, could facilitate the recovery of motor functions in subacute stroke patients. The study has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry （registration number： ChiCTR-OCH- 12002238）.展开更多

However, there are few studies concerning the use of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the recovery of upper-limb motor function after cerebral infarction. We hypothesized that different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with cerebral infarction would produce different effects on the recovery of upper-limb motor function. This study enrolled 127 patients with upper-limb dysfunction during the subacute phase of cerebral infarction. These patients were randomly assigned to three groups. The low-frequency group comprised 42 patients who were treated with 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the contralateral hemisphere primary motor cortex （M1）. The high-frequency group comprised 43 patients who were treated with 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on ipsilateral M1. Finally, the sham group comprised 42 patients who were treated with 10 Hz of false stimulation on ipsilateral M1. A total of 135 seconds of stimulation was applied in the sham group and high-frequency group. At 2 weeks after treatment, cortical latency of motor-evoked potentials and central motor conduction time were significantly lower compared with before treatment. Moreover, motor function scores were significantly improved. The above indices for the low- and high-frequency groups were significantly different compared with the sham group. However, there was no significant difference between the low- and high-frequency groups. The results show that low- and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can similarly improve upper-limb motor function in patients with cerebral infarction.展开更多

Before and after constraint-induced movement therapy, the flexibility of their upper limbs on the affected side was assessed using the Wolf motor function test, and daily use of their affected limbs was assessed using the movement activities log, and cerebral functional reorganization was assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging. The Wolf motor function test score and the movement activities log quantity and quality scores were significantly increased, while action performance time in the Wolf motor function test was significantly decreased after constraint-induced movement therapy. By functional magnetic resonance imaging examination, only scattered activation points were visible on the affected side before therapy. In contrast, the volume of the activated area was increased after therapy. The activation volume in the sensorimotor area was significantly different before and after therapy, and the activation area increased and appeared adjusted. In addition to the activated area around the lesions being decreased, there were also some new activated areas, including the supplementary movement area, premotor area and the ipsilateral sensorimotor area. Our findings indicate that constraint-induced movement therapy significantly improves the movement ability and daily use of the affected upper limbs in stroke patients and promotes cerebral functional reorganization.展开更多

文摘In this study, stroke patients received constraint-induced movement therapy for 3 weeks. Before and after constraint-induced movement therapy, the flexibility of their upper limbs on the affected side was assessed using the Wolf motor function test, and daily use of their affected limbs was assessed using the movement activities log, and cerebral functional reorganization was assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging. The Wolf motor function test score and the movement activities log quantity and quality scores were significantly increased, while action performance time in the Wolf motor function test was significantly decreased after constraint-induced movement therapy. By functional magnetic resonance imaging examination, only scattered activation points were visible on the affected side before therapy. In contrast, the volume of the activated area was increased after therapy. The activation volume in the sensorimotor area was significantly different before and after therapy, and the activation area increased and appeared adjusted. In addition to the activated area around the lesions being decreased, there were also some new activated areas, including the supplementary movement area, premotor area and the ipsilateral sensorimotor area. Our findings indicate that constraint-induced movement therapy significantly improves the movement ability and daily use of the affected upper limbs in stroke patients and promotes cerebral functional reorganization.
文摘目的:研究双侧经颅直流电刺激(dual-hemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation,Dual-tDCS)对慢性期脑卒中患者上肢运动功能的影响,为治疗慢性期脑卒中上肢功能障碍提供基于神经机制的理论依据。方法:选取某院24例慢性期脑卒中上肢运动功能障碍患者,按照随机数字表法将其分为研究组(n=13)和对照组(n=11)。对照组采用tDCS伪刺激联合常规康复治疗,研究组采用Dual-tDCS联合常规康复治疗。治疗前后,采用Fugl-Meyer运动功能评定量表上肢部分(Fugl-Meyer assessment upper limb scale,FMA-UL)及日常生活活动能力(activities of daily living,ADL)测评量表对患者活动能力进行评估。对比治疗前后初级运动皮层(M1区)与全脑功能连接(functional connectivity,FC)的变化。使用SPSS 24.0统计学软件进行数据分析。结果:治疗后,2组患者的FMA-UL、ADL评分比治疗前均显著提高,且研究组评分明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。M1区与全脑FC分析显示,治疗后对照组健侧M1区到患侧枕中回、健侧舌回、健侧角回FC降低(P<0.01);患侧M1区未见FC变化脑区。治疗后研究组健侧M1区到健侧小脑、健侧小脑蚓部FC降低,到患侧中央前回FC增加(P<0.01);患侧M1区到患侧小脑、患侧颞中回FC增加,到健侧中央前回FC降低(P<0.01)。结论:Dual-tDCS对大脑的神经调控作用可改善慢性期卒中患者运动和非运动相关脑区的FC,可能是慢性期脑卒中上肢运动功能障碍的康复机制。
文摘目的观察针刺联合镜像疗法治疗脑卒中患者上肢运动功能障碍的临床疗效。方法将90例脑卒中上肢运动功能障碍患者按随机数字表法分为对照1组(30例,给予针刺治疗)、对照2组(30例,给予镜像疗法治疗)和观察组(30例,给予针刺联合镜像疗法治疗),疗程均为2周。比较3组患者治疗前后Fugl-Meyer评估量表上肢板块(Fugl-Meyer assessment upper extremity,FMA-UE)评分,Wolf运动功能测试(Wolf motor function test,WMFT)量表评分,改良Barthel指数(modified Barthel index,MBI),国际功能、残疾和健康分类(international classification of functioning,disability and health,ICF)评分及伸腕主动运动范围(active range of motion,AROM)和基于FMA-UE评分判定临床疗效。结果观察组临床疗效优于对照1组和对照2组(P<0.05);治疗后3组患者FMA-UE评分、WMFT评分、MBI均较治疗前显著增加(P<0.05),ICF评分显著减少(P<0.05),且观察组FMA-UE评分、WMFT评分、MBI增加程度,ICF评分减少程度显著大于对照1组和对照2组(P<0.05);治疗后观察组患者伸腕AROM显著大于对照1组和对照2组(P<0.05)。结论针刺联合镜像疗法能有效改善脑卒中患者上肢运动功能障碍。
文摘目的:以非受累侧前运动皮质区(premotor cortex,PMC)为刺激靶点,比较不同治疗时程的重复经颅磁刺激(repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation,rTMS)对脑卒中患者上肢运动功能及脑功能连接的影响。方法:将60例缺血性脑卒中后上肢运动功能障碍患者随机分到6周rTMS组、4周rTMS组和2周r TMS组以及对照组,每组15例。在治疗前后采用上肢Brunnstrom分期、Fugl-Meyer运动功能评分上肢部分(Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity,FMA-UE)和Wolf运动功能评分(Wolf motor function test,WMFT)进行行为学评定,另外以非受累侧PMC为种子点采用静息态功能磁共振成像(resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging,rs-fMRI)进行功能连接分析。结果:治疗后,2周rTMS组的FMA-UE和WMFT的评分与4周及6周rTMS组间有显著性差异(P<0.05),但4周rTMS组的FMA-UE和WMFT的评分与6周rTMS组间无显著性差异(P>0.05)。非受累侧PMC区为种子点的功能连接分析显示,rTMS治疗后非受累侧PMC与同侧中央前回、对侧颞中回和楔前叶功能连接增强(P<0.05)。结论:研究结果表明,以非受累侧半球PMC为靶点的低频rTMS治疗可有效促进偏瘫上肢运动功能的恢复,其中与2周rTMS干预和6周rTMS干预相比,4周rTMS干预具有最佳的时间-效益比,这可能与其增强双侧半球间、非受累半球内皮质-皮质间的功能连接有关。
