Abstract:
Objective:To compare the effect of two kinds of methods inducing ankle dorsiflexion on ankle dorsiflexion function for stroke patients. Methods:From September, 2016 to September, 2018, 60 patients with disorders of ankle active dorsiflexion after stroke were randomly divided into groups A, B and C, who accepted routine rehabilitation, tapping-zone therapy and tapping Qiuxu acupoint (GB40), respectively, for six weeks. They were assessed with three-dimensional gait analysis and surface electromyography before and after treatment. Results:The range of motion of the affected ankle, the peak torque of ankle and integrated electromyography of tibialis anterior muscle increased after treatment (t > 2.318, P < 0.05), and it ranked from best to worst as group C, group B and group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion:Both tapping-zone therapy and tapping Qiuxu may promote the recovery of ankle dorsiflexion in stroke patients, and the latter seems better.
