Objective To explore the affect of acupuncture cooperating with Bobath approach on the spasticity after stroke.Methods 83 patient were divided into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (41 cases). On basis of conventional treatment, the treatment group accepted acupuncture and Bobath approach while the control group accepted a Bobath approach only. They were assessed with Modified Ashworth Scale before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results 8 weeks after treatment, the spasticity reduced in both groups, but more in the treatment group (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can facilitate the efficacy of Bobath approach on spasticity after stroke.

Objective To explore event-related potential(ERP) P300 of cerebral infarction patients during motor relearning program. Methods 99 cerebral infarction patients were divided into observation group(52 cases, receiving motor relearning program) and control group(47 cases, no treatment), and 50 healthy subjects as normal control. After 12 weeks, they were measured by: 1)Berg balance scale; 2)Sheikh body control scale; 3)Fugl-Meyer movement assessment; 4) walk ability and 5) ERP P300.Results The scores of Berg balance scale, Fugl-Meyer movement assessment, Sheikh body control scale and walk ability scale increased significantly, and the latency of ERP P300 decreased significantly(P<0.01), and the amplitude of ERP P300 increased significantly in the observation group. ERP P300 of the observation group has significantly difference(P<0.01) from the normal control group.Conclusion Motor relearning program can effectively retrieve the ERP P300 and motor ability of cerebral infarction patients.
