- Abstract: Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of intermittent Theta pulse stimulation combined with knee joint control training on balance dysfunction in post-stroke patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 post-stroke patients with balance dysfunction. According to different treatment modalities, the patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 50 patients in each group. The control group received knee joint control training alone, whereas the observation group was additionally treated with intermittent Theta pulse stimulation on this basis. After 2 months of treatment, the two groups were compared regarding therapeutic efficacy, functional scores ［Fugl Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Holden Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC)］, as well as hemodynamic parameters including peripheral resistance, blood flow velocity, and cerebral blood flow. Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than the control group (94.00% vs 80.00%, P<0.05). The post-treatment FMA-LE, BBS, FAC scores were increased in both groups as compared with pre-treatment levels, with greater improvements in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, peripheral resistance was reduced in both groups, with the observation group exhibiting significantly lower values than the control group (P<0.05). Post-treatment blood flow velocity and blood volume were increased, and the observation group had significantly greater increases than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intermittent Theta pulse stimulation combined with knee joint control training can effectively improve balance dysfunction and cerebral hemodynamics, and enhance motor function and walking abilities in post-stroke patients.
