Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of the high and low-frequency interactive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on limb function, swallowing function and daily living activities in elderly stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Methods

A total of 80 stroke patients with hemiplegia admitted to Tangshan Workers' Hospital from August 2017 to December 2021 were collected, and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 40 cases in each. The control group received conventional rehabilitation intervention and low-frequency rTMS. The observation group received conventional rehabilitation intervention and high and low frequency interactive rTMS. Motor function, swallowing function, and activities of daily living in the two groups were observed.

Results

After treatment, the Fugl-Meyer scores assessment upper extremity and modified Barthel index (MBI) scores of the two groups were increased, and the observation group had higher scores than those in the control group. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS) scores were decreased, and the observation group had lower scores than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, F-wave latency of upper limb median nerve were reduced, and F-wave latency of upper limb median nerve in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

High and low frequency interactive rTMS can significantly improve limb motor function and activities of daily living of elderly stroke patients with hemiplegia.
