Functional electrostimulation in poststroke rehabilitation: A meta-analysis of the randomized controlled trials

摘要: Abstract Objective: To assess the efficacy of functional electrical stimulation (FES) in rehabilitation hemiparesis stroke. Design: A meta-analysis combined reported randomized controlled trials FES stroke, using effect size method Glass, and DerSimonian-Laird Random Effects Method for poling studies. Setting: The included studies were published between 1978 1992. They conducted academic medicine settings. Patients: In all studies, patients poststroke rehabilitation. mean time after stroke varied from 1.5 to 29.2 months. Intervention: applied a muscle or associated nerve hemiparetic extremity was compared No FES. Main Outcome Measure: Change paretic force contraction following change without Results: For four .63 (95% Cl: .29, .98). This result statistically significant ( p Conclusion: Pooling supports as promoting recovery strength is significant. There reasonable liklihood clinical significance well.
