Abstract:
Objective To observe the change of extension-flexion arc of ankle in hemiplegia due to ischemic stroke after yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations.Method Sixty ischemic stroke patients were divided into a control group and a treatment group by random number table, 30 in each group. The control group was intervened by basic treatment, while the treatment group was by yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations in addition to the basic treatment. Before intervention and 28 d after intervention, the Lokomat gait analysis system was adopted to observe the change of the extension-flexion arc of ankle respectively under motorial and stationary states.Result When heel was grounded, the flexion angle, the maximum extension-flexion arc value, and motility of ankle joint of the treatment group were statistically different from those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Yin-yang acupuncture associated with respiration needling manipulations can effectively improve the movement and the walk function of hemiplegia due to ischemic stroke.
