Study on the Effect of Scalp Acupuncture Combined with Tactile Haptic Technology Training on the Balance Ability and Gait of Hemiplegia After Stroke
Objective:To observe the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with tactile haptic technology training on the balance ability and gait of hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods:The patients in the hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were included.The study subjects were 123 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.The enrolled patients were divided into test group(62 cases)and conventional group(61 cases)with random number table.The conventional group was given conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation training.The experimental group was given scalp acupuncture therapy combined with tactile haptic technology training.All patients were followed up for half a year.The balance ability,walking ability,gait changes and limb motor function recovery during the follow-up period between the two groups of patients were compared.Results:Under different treatment schemes,Berg balance Scale(BBS)scores of experimental groups were higher than those of conventional group after 7 and 14 days of treatment,and TUGT scores of experimental groups were lower than those of conventional group,with statistically significant difference(t=3.230,3.391,3.448,3.121;P<0.05).After treatment,the healthy step length and the single support phase duration of the affected side/healthy side of the experimental group were higher than those of the conventional group,with statistically significant difference(t=3.928,4.489;P<0.05).Under different treatment plans,the upper and lower limb scores of Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Scale(FMA)in experimental group were higher than those in conventional group at 3 and 6 months of follow-up,and the difference was statistically significant(t=3.767,3.866,3.679,3.044;P<0.05).Conclusion:Scalp acupuncture combined with tactile haptic technology training can effectively improve the balance ability and walking ability of hemiplegia after stroke,which has positive significance in promoting the recovery of gait and limb movement of patients.
