Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of shoulder girdle strengthening exercise combined with acupuncture and rehabilitation exercise on the recovery of stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain.Method:Eighty-six stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain who received treatment in the Department of Neurology of Ningbo No. 6 Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo rehabilitation exercise and acupuncture (control group, n = 41) or shoulder girdle strengthening exercise combined with acupuncture and rehabilitation exercise (observation group, n = 45) for 8 successive weeks. The recovery of limb function, activities of daily living and shoulder pain were evaluated. Results:After intervention, the Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(1.14 ± 0.48) points vs. (3.01 ± 0.62) points, t = 15.530, P < 0.05]. The Fugl-Meyer assessment score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(42.68 ± 5.46) points vs. (30.78 ± 4.93) points, t = 10.622, P < 0.05]. The modified Barthel index in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(82.75 ± 8.93) vs. (71.48 ± 9.06), t = 5.801, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Shoulder girdle strengthening exercise combined with acupuncture and rehabilitation exercise can help improve patient’s ability of daily living and strengthen limb function. This treatment method is of great clinical significance and worthy of clinical popularization.
