Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of heat-producing needling (Shao Shan Huo) and cool-inducing needling (Tou Tian Liang) on the gait cycle after operation for gluteus contracture. Method Sixty-six patients after operation for gluteus contracture were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 33 in each group. The control group was intervened by rehabilitation, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the rehabilitation training. The topical points Zhibian (BL 54), Huantiao (GB 30), and Juliao (GB 29) were treated with reducing cool-inducing needling technique; Biguan (ST 31), Futu (ST 32), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40), Xuehai (SP 10), Diji (SP 8), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) were treated with reinforcing heat-producing needling technique. The motor time parameters were observed before and after intervention.Result After intervention, the supporting phase of the affected side, supporting phase of the healthy side, gait cycle, swinging phase of the affected side, swinging phase of the healthy side, and bilateral supporting phase of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Heat-producing and cool-inducing needling techniques can effectively shorten the gait cycle after operation for gluteus contracture, and can improve the walk function.
