Muscle Weakness Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects Of Cold Application To The Intact Side In Addition Cross Training With NMES On Dorsiflexor Muscle Strength In Hemiplegia
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a cold application to the contralateral (affected side) extremity in addition to unilateral neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application has a facilitating effect on muscle strength in post-stroke hemiplegia patients.
In this prospective randomized controlled single-blind study, a total of 25 patients, 16 men, and 9 women were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=12) or the control group (n=13). NMES has applied to the non-affected side ankle dorsiflexors five sessions for a week in both groups. In addition to the experimental group, the cold application was applied on the affected side dorsiflexor muscle skin. The cold application was done on a moist towel for five minutes using a cold pack. A five-minute break was given and a further 5-minute cold application was repeated. The cold application was done simultaneously with NMES. A conventional rehabilitation program was applied to all patients by a physiotherapist. Before and after treatment, both ankle dorsiflexor strength was measured with a force sensor. For force measurements, a force transducer (FC2211-0000-0100-L Compression Load Cell, TE Connectivity company, France) was used. Force transducer signals were received with a data acquisition device (POWERLAB® data acquisition system ADInstruments, Oxford, UK) and evaluated offline on the computer. The measurement values were expressed in kilogram.force (kg.f) and this value was normalized according to body weight. ;
