Summary

flow restriction training combined with routine rehabilitation training can promote the recovery of lower limb muscle strength on the hemiplegic side of stroke patients, improve the lower limb motor function of patients, and further improve their daily life and walking ability. It provides a new treatment method for stroke patients with hemiplegia that leads to lower limb function loss and activity disorder, and the therapy also has the advantages of simple operation, high safety, good patient compliance and low cost, which is worthy of further clinical research and promotion.

Detailed description

In this work, Stroke is a disease with a high incidence, high mortality and high disability rate, and it is becoming increasingly common in young individuals. More than 50% of these patients have long-term chronic motor dysfunction due to unilateral limb dysfunction, and abnormal limb movement patterns occur due to unilateral limb weakness, abnormal muscle tone and other symptoms, which can manifest as a typical "hemiplegic gait" on walking. Motor dysfunction after stroke, including muscle strength, dystonia and abnormal gait, is the main dysfunction, which can cause cardiopulmonary function decline, thrombosis, muscle atrophy, etc., reducing the ability of daily living and quality of life of patients. Routine rehabilitation training methods for stroke patients with dysfunction include muscle strength training techniques, neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT), motor relearning programs (MRPs), constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). But it cannot achieve a good rehabilitation treatment effect. Therefore, we found through lower extremity motor function (LE-FMA), balance function (BBS), activities of daily living (MBI), patients' walking distance (6-MWT test) and the MMT assessment of muscle strength of iliopsoas, quadriceps, hamstrings and tibialis anterior muscles testing that combining blood flow restriction training on the basis of traditional rehabilitation is beneficial for patient muscle rehabilitation.

Conditions

• Hemiplegia and/or Hemiparesis Following Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Blood flow restriction	A common clinical tourniquet (7cm \* 50cm in size) is placed in the middle section of the patient's thigh on the affected side, connected to a pressure gauge, observed and gradually pressurized to 160-170mmHg for about 10 minutes, then depressurized for 1 minute, and then re pressurized to 160-170mmHg. Each training session lasts for 20 minutes, once a day, five times a week, for a total of 8 weeks.
