EMG-Triggered Pedaling Training on Muscle Activation, Gait, and Motor Function for Stroke Patients
This study aimed to determine the effects of electromyography (EMG)-triggered pedaling training to improve motor functions in the lower extremities, muscle activation, gait, postural balance, and activities of daily living in stroke patients. Subjects were randomly allocated to two groups: the EMG-t...

| description | This study aimed to determine the effects of electromyography (EMG)-triggered pedaling training to improve motor functions in the lower extremities, muscle activation, gait, postural balance, and activities of daily living in stroke patients. Subjects were randomly allocated to two groups: the EMG-triggered pedaling training group (EMG-PTG, <i>n</i> = 21) and the traditional pedaling training group (TPTG, <i>n</i> = 20). Both groups trained five times per week for four weeks, with 50 min per session. Lower extremity motor function was assessed using the Fugl–Meyer Assessment (FMA). Muscle activation of the four muscles of the lower extremities was assessed using eight-channel electromyography, while gait ability was assessed using GaitRite. Postural balance was assessed using the Berg balance scale (BBS), the timed up and go (TUG), and functional reach tests (FRT). Daily activities were assessed using the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). For lower extremity motor function, gait ability, balance ability, and activities of daily living, the EMG-PTG showed significant improvement compared to TPTG (<i>p</i> < 0.05). These results suggest that EMG-triggered pedaling training effectively improves lower extremity motor function, muscle activation, gait, postural balance, and activities of daily living in stroke patients. |
