Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture synchronized exercise therapy on sensory and motor functions of lower limbs in stroke patients,and to provide scientific basis for the optimization of rehabilitation program for stroke patients.Method:Seventy stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Shan-dong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2022 to July 2022 were selected and randomly di-vided into synchronous group and control group,35 patients in each group.The patients in the synchronous group received routine exercise therapy and synchronized acupuncture treatment,while the patients in the con-trol group received acupuncture and subsequent exercise therapy continuously.Before and after treatment,the revised Nottingham sensory assessment scale(reNSA),Fugl-Meyer sensory rating scale,Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment(FMA),Berg rating scale,modified Barthel index rating scale(MBI)and modified Ash-worth spasm rating scale(MAS)were used to evaluate the curative effects.Result:After treatment,the scores of reNSA deep sensation,reNSA compound sensation and Fugl sensation in two groups were significantly increased(P<0.05).The scores of deep and shallow sensation in the synchro-nous group were significantly higher than those in the control group,while there was no significant difference between the two groups in the scores of compound sensation and Fugl sensation(P>0.05).After treatment,the FMA-UE score,Berg score and MBI score in the two groups were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the FMA-UE score,Berg score and MBI score of the synchronous group were also significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The composition of MAS scores in both groups also improved significant-ly after treatment,but there was no significant difference between the two groups before or after treatment(χ2=2.469,P=0.650;χ2=1.651,P=0.648).Conclusion:Acupuncture synchronized exercise therapy can effectively improve the sensory and motor functions of the lower limbs after stroke,and its effect is better than that of exercise therapy and acupuncture sequen-tial therapy.
