The Therapeutic Effect of Acupuncture Combined with Rehabilitation Training on Stroke Hemiplegia and Its Impact on Lower Limb Motor Function in Patients
Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy combined with rehabilitation training on the recovery of lower limb motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Method A total of 68 stroke patients with hemiplegia in the second area of acupuncture and moxibustion in Quanzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Fujian Province from February 2020 to February 2022 were selected.According to the treatment methods,they were divided into acupuncture and moxi-bustion combined rehabilitation training treatment group(combined treatment group)and rehabilitation training group,with 34 cases in each group.The main symptoms,neurological function,lower limb motor function,comprehensive function,daily living a-bility,quality of life,clinical efficacy,muscle strength,balance ability and walking function of the two groups were observed.Result The scores of major symptoms and Neurological Deficit Scale(NIHSS)in combined treatment group were lower than those in re-habilitation training group(P<0.05).Fugl-Meyer Lower Limb Motor Function Rating Scale(FMA-L)Score,Comprehensive Function Rating Scale(FC A)Score,modified Barthel Index(MBI)score,Stroke specific Quality of Life Scale(SS-QOL)score,Berg Balance Scale(BBS)score,Trunk Control Test Scale(TCT)score,Functional Walking Scale(FAC)score were high-er than those of rehabilitation training group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the combined treatment group was higher than that of the rehabilitation training group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with rehabilitation train-ing can effectively promote the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients with stroke hemiplegia than rehabilitation training alone.
