Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Diagnosed as unilateral ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke of the first episode, confirmed by CT or MRI examination, and meeting the diagnostic criteria for stroke in the 2019 edition (Chinese Society of Neurology, Cerebrovascular Disease Group of Chinese Society of Neurology. Key Points for the Diagnosis of Major Cerebrovascular Diseases in China 2019. Chin J Neurop, 2019, 52(9): 710-715); (2) Be between the ages of 50 and 69; (3) time of stroke >=6 months; (4) Have residual upper limb dysfunction and are in stable condition (hemiplegic upper limb function test-Hong Kong version (FTHUE) grade 3-6). FTHUE-HK is a rapid screening tool to assess upper limb motor function and is commonly used in clinical trials. The functional level of the upper limbs after stroke was divided into the low-function group (grade 3-4 in FTHU-HK) and the high-function group (grade 5-6 in FTHUE-HK). (5) Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) assessment results of the affected upper limb =20 points, able to understand and follow the experimental task; (7) Voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients with unstable clinical diseases; (2) Those who have been diagnosed with any neurological disease in the past except for stroke; (3) Those who have severe cognitive impairment, aphasia, or mental illness, and are unable to cooperate with examination and treatment; (4) Severe shoulder dislocation, shoulder-hand syndrome, and shoulder pain cannot be treated together (5) Those who cannot sit for a long time; (6) Those with skull defects and/or titanium plate repair; (7) Head skin infection or injury; (8) Poorly controlled epilepsy; (9) Participating in other clinical trials that affect the evaluation of the results of this study.
