Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the nine points for hemiplegia plus MOTOmed exercise training system on the lower-extremity function of the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.MethodForty-five patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were randomized into 3 groups, 15 each.Group A was intervened by regular acupuncture treatment, group B was by the MOTOmed training system, and group C was by the nine points for hemiplegia during the exercise training by the MOTOmed system in addition to the regular acupuncture treatment. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Fugl-Meyer (FMA) scale were adopted for evaluation and comparison before intervention and after 4-week intervention.ResultBefore intervention, there were no significant differences in comparing the function of lower extremity among the three groups (P>0.05);after 4-week intervention, the observation indexes were improved in the three groups, and the improvement in group C was the most significant (P<0.05), and it was significantly different from that of group A and B at the corresponding time point (P<0.05). ConclusionThe nine points for hemiplegia plus MOTOmed exercise training can effectively improve the lower-extremity function in the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.
