Analysis of the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture combined with Qiteng Ruanjian Powder in treatment of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture after surgery
Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture and Qiteng Ruanjian Powder combined therapy on postoperative acute closed Achilles tendon rupture(AACATRS).Methods Seventy AACATRS patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 35 cases in each group.Control group was treated with routine rehabilitation training,while treatment group was treated with electroacupuncture combined with Qiteng Ruanjian Powder on the basis of control group.Compare the excellent rates of two groups,and collect isokinetic muscle strength test indicators[peak torque(PFPT),peak torque/body mass(PT/BW),total work(TW)],American Association of Foot and Ankle(AO-FAS)score,ankle range of motion,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,calf circumference difference,Berg Balance Scale score,and plantar flexor muscle strength grading at 6 and 24 weeks after surgery,compare the incidence of complications within 24 weeks after surgery between the two groups.Results The excellent and good rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group(P＜0.05);at 24 weeks post surgery,the PFPT,PT/BW,TW,AO-FAS scores,ankle range of motion,and Berg Balance Scale scores in both groups were higher than those at 6 weeks post surgery;and were higher in treatment group than control group(P＜0.05);at 24 weeks post surgery,the VAS score and leg circumference of both groups were lower than those at 6 weeks post surgery,and were lower in treatment group than control group(P＜0.05);at 24 weeks post surgery,the plantar flexor muscle strength grading in both groups was better than those at 6 weeks post surgery,and was better in treatment group than control group(P＜0.05);the incidence of complications within 24 weeks after surgery in treatment group was lower than that in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of electroacupuncture and Qiteng Ruanjian Powder sig-nificantly improves the symptoms of AACATRS patients,enhances muscle strength,increases ankle joint range of motion,reduces pain and swelling,restores balance,and has a better therapeutic effect.
