The Başvuru of Low- and Medium-Frekans Electrical Uyarı in Üst ekstremite Rehabilitasyon - Inme Merkez

Zorluklar Faced by Hastalar with Üst ekstremite Dysfunction

 

The hand is an Gerekli Organ for daily activities and serves as a Anahtar tool for humans to explore the external world and interact with the environment. Compared to other body Parçalar, the hand and üst ekstremite possess greater complexity and importance in motor functions. Therefore, üst ekstremite motor function rehabilitasyon is a core focus in Pozisyon-inme rehabilitasyonu, yet it also represents a Büyük Zorluk. Hastalar with üst ekstremite dysfunction caused by Şartlar such as inme, spinal cord Yaralanma, or hand trauma often Deneyim a Yavaş Kurtarma İşlem due to the complexity of hand and üst ekstremite movements. This prolonged rehabilitasyon journey poses a Önemli psychological Zorluk, potentially affecting Hastalar' sense of self-fulfilment, and Mayıs lead to anxiety, depression, and other emotional Sorunlar. These negative emotions can, in turn, further diminish rehabilitasyon motivation and Etki the overall Kalite of life.

What is Functional Electrical Uyarı (FES)?

Functional Electrical Uyarı (FES) is a rehabilitasyon Teknik that uses low-Frekans pulsed electrical currents to Uyarmak one or more groups of Kaslar through preset Programlar, inducing Kas contractions or simulating normal voluntary movements. The Hedef of FES is to improve or restore the functions of Kaslar and Kas groups affected by Nörolojik damage, thereby compensating for or correcting the Kayıp of motor function in limbs and Organlar. In recent years, the Başvuru of FES has expanded significantly, especially for Hastalar with limb dysfunction caused by inme or spinal cord Yaralanma. Through repeated electrical Uyarı, FES can not only activate motor neurons but also promote nöropastisite in the central nervous Sistem, helping Hastalar gradually regain voluntary motor abilities.

3. Common Electrode Placements for FES in Limb Eğitim

(1) Shoulder Subluxation

Hastalar with central nervous Sistem Yaralanmalar or high-Seviye spinal cord Yaralanmalar often Deneyim shoulder subluxation. Strengthening the supraspinatus and the posterior Parça of the deltoid Kas can Yardım prevent and improve shoulder subluxation.

 

Uyarı electrode: Placed Açık the posterior one-third of the deltoid Kas;

Auxiliary electrode: Placed Açık the supraspinatus Kas.

(2) Triceps Kas Weakness

For Hastalar with central nervous Sistem disorders, using NMES to strengthen the triceps brachii can enhance elbow exTENSion control and relieve spastisite of the biceps brachii.

Uyarı electrode: Placed below the posterior Parça of the deltoid Kas;

Auxiliary electrode: Placed above the olecranon (be careful to avoid stimulating the brachioradialis to prevent unwanted elbow flexion).

(3) Wrist and Finger ExTENSor Kas Weakness

Due to the small Boyut of forearm Kaslar, smaller electrode pads are generally recommended for stimulating the wrist and finger exTENSor Kaslar.

 

For wrist exTENSors:

Uyarı electrode: Placed below the lateral epicondyle of the humerus;

Auxiliary electrode: Placed proximally near the wrist Eklem.

 

For finger exTENSors:

Uyarı electrode: Placed more distally in the Merkez of the forearm;

Auxiliary electrode: Placed proximally near the wrist Eklem.
