简要总结
Background and objective: Upper extremity functional impairments are common consequences post stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of Segmental muscle vibration (SMV) application along with supervised physical therapy (SPT) on improving activities of daily living (ADL) and motor recovery on the hemiparetic upper extremity in patients with stroke.
Methods: A sample of 37 patients post stroke (29 males) was randomly assigned to either supervised physical therapy (SPT) control group (n=18) or supervised physical therapy and segmental muscle vibration (SPT-SMV) experimental group (n=19). All patients received 3 sessions per week of SPT for 8 weeks. The SPT-SMV experimental group received SMV at the end of each SPT session. Outcome measures used were Barthel Index (BI), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and goniometry for Range of Motion (ROM) assessment.

结局指标
主要结局
goniometry
时间窗: Change from Baseline Range of Motion at 8 weeks
Range of motion assessed by goniometry; is the measurement of angles, particularly those formed by joints. These angles may be measured in a standing position or in flexion or extension.
次要结局
- Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)(Change from Baseline Muscle power at 8 weeks)
- Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)(Change from Baseline muscle tone at 8 weeks)
- Barthel Index (BI)(Change from Baseline Functional level at 8 weeks)
