|
Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation in the treatment to Guillain-Barre Syndrome patients of through case Study.
Methods : The subject was a 66-year old woman who has Guillain-Barre Syndrome, showed wrist and hand function decrease in FMA and JTHFT investigation. She received a electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation treatment for 4weeks, 1 per day, 30 minute for each(right, left).
Results : After 4 week period, wrist and hand function of FMA was observed increase and JTHFT showed improvement in some items.
Conclusion : The use of electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation in the treatment of Guillain-Barre Syndrome who had peripheral neuropathy could been effective to therapy for motor recovery.
