Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo observe clinical therapeutic effect of point-through-point acupuncture on strephenopodia after apoplexy.
METHODSNinety-six cases of strephenopodia after apoplexy were divided into a treatment group (n=50) treated with point-through-point acupuncture and a control group (n=46) treated with normal acupuncture. Their clinical therapeutic effects and motor functions of lower limbs were investigated.
RESULTSBoth the methods could restore foot functional activities of various directions in the patient of strephenopodia after apoplexy (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and the therapeutic effect of the treatment group was more obvious (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe point-through-point acupuncture has obvious therapeutic effect on foot functional activities of various directions in the patient of strephenopodia after apoplexy.
