Abstract:
ABSTRACT:OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training on neurological func-tion and athletic ability in patients with apoplexy sequela.METHODS 134 cases of apoplexy sequela were randomly divided in-to the study group and control group,with 67 cases in each group.Patients in the study group were given acupuncture com-bined with rehabilitation training,while those in the control group were given pure acupuncture,with the treatment course lasting for 8 weeks.Then changes of the neurological function,activity of daily living(ADL)and athletic ability of the affected extremity were compared between the two groups to evaluate the curative effects.RESULTS NIHSS scores of both groups went down notably,whereas Barthel index and Fugl-Meyer scores went up evidently,with a statistical significance when com-pared to the situation before treatment(P <0.05~0.01).The changes of the study group was more evident,with a statistical significance when compared to the control group(P <0.05).The total curative rate of the study group was 92.54%(62∕67), which was superior to 71.64% (48∕67) of the control group with a statistical significance(P <0.01).CONCULSION Acu-puncture combined with rehabilitation training is able to improve both neurological function and athletic ability in patients with apoplexy sequela.
