Objective To compare the effect of various manipulation of Tuina on surface electromyogram (sEMG) in hemiplegics after stroke. Methods From January to May, 2016, 20 inpatients with hemiplegia after stroke accepted Tuina on bilateral rectus femoris by the same therapist, with the techniques of rolling, patting, rubbing, shaking, kneading and pressing, one minute a manipulation and interval one minute. Integrated electromyography (iEMG), root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of sEMG were compared, both in rest and during Tuina. Results There was no significant difference of iEMG, RMS and MF between affected and unaffected sides in rest (t<1.147, P>0.05). iEMG and RMS were the most under patting (F>21.376, P<0.001), and MF was the highest under pressing (F>11.772, P<0.001). iEMG, RMS and MF were not very different under other manipulation (P>0.05). iEMG and RMS were less in the affected side than in the unaffected side under patting (P<0.05). Conclusion Various manipulation of Tuina may be different in neuromuscular stimulation, that patting may stimulate more muscles and motor units.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment of dysfunction and depression of parkinson disease patients. Methods A totao of 50 cases of parkinson patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, each group 25 cases, the control group was given conventional medicine and rehabilitation training, the observation group was given low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation based on the control group. Results After 1 months of treatment, UPDRS Ⅰ, UPDRS II, UPDRS III, UP-DRS total scores in the observation group were lower than that in the control group, there was statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared MMSE scores between the observation group and the control group, there was no statistical sig-nificance (P>0.05), but HAMD score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, there was statis-tical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used as a non-invasive measure of physical therapy for parkinson's disease.
