Abstract

Various methods of sit-to-stand (STS) training for chronic stroke patients have been devised in the clinical rehabilitation field, aiming at reinforcing muscle strength and recovering balancing ability, including improving weight-bearing capacity. However, there is little research on STS training using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), which is known to be effective in enhancing muscle strength and balancing ability. Hence, this study investigated the impact of STS combined with NMES on the muscle strength of the lower trunk and extremities and balancing ability in chronic stroke patients. They were randomly divided into 12 experimental groups (STS with NMES) and 12 control groups (only STS). Measurements were used before and after the intervention. All measurements significantly increased in both the experimental group and control group after the intervention, respectively (p<0.05). However, after the intervention, between the groups, the experimental group was not more statistically significant than the control group in all measurements (p<0.05). This study illustrated that STS with NMES may not differ concerning the muscle strength of the lower trunk and extremities and balancing ability in chronic stroke patients compared to the application of only STS.
