這項療法具備臨床實證支持。在偏癱患者的上下肢運動復康中,NMES 是常用的治療與神經義肢手段,有助維持肌肉量及減少廢用性萎縮(Knutson et al., 2015);而針對垂足患者,將電刺激配合常規復康訓練,亦能改善踝背屈幅度與下肢功能(Wang et al., 2025)。使用時必須由治療師指導,體內裝有心臟起搏器的人士以及皮膚有傷口的位置均嚴禁使用。
手腳踏單車對中風康復有甚麼幫助?
踏單車能讓患者留在家中進行有氧運動及重複的肢體協調訓練。有氧體適能訓練(包括踏單車形式)具備 Cochrane 級別的實證支持,證實可提升步行速度、耐力及平衡力(Saunders et al., 2016);美國心臟協會亦建議中風患者結合有氧及肌力運動,同時減少久坐,但運動強度必須按個人情況量身調整(Billinger et al., 2014)。
