Abstract:
Objective To explore the curative effects of acupuncture, ultrashort wave combined with kinesio taping in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain for clinical references. Methods All 80 patients with chronic ankle sprain were randomly assigned to the control group and the treatment group. The control group was given the treatment of acupunc-ture and ultrashort wave, and the treatment group was further given the treatment of kinesio taping on the basis of acupuncture and ultrashort wave. One course of treatment lasted for seven days,and the treatment lasted for two courses of 14 days in total. The differences of clinical efficacy were observed between the two groups of patients. VAS and A Modern Practical Handbook of Orthopedics were applied for evaluation before and after the treatment. Results VAS scores and curative effective rate in the two groups all improved,and the improvement in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The application of acupuncture, ultrashort wave com-bined with kinesio taping in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain is effective in alleviating pain and improving ankle function.
