Effect of acupuncture combined with task oriented training on upper limb motor function and quality of life in stroke patients
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with task oriented training on upper limb motor function and quality of life in stroke patients.Methods A total of 80 post-stroke rehabilitation training patients admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the Affiliated Shuyang Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from October 2020 to October 2023 were randomly divided into an observation group(40 cases)and a control group(40 cases)using a random number table method.The control group received acupuncture treatment,while the observation group received task oriented training on the basis of the control group.Both groups of patients received continuous rehabilitation treatment for 4 weeks.Before and after treatment,Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA)was used to evaluate upper limb motor function,modified Ashworth method was used to evaluate spasticity degree,and the action research arm test(ARAT)was used to evaluate hand motor function;The modified Barthel index(MBI)was used to evaluate daily living abilities and quality of life.Results The FMA(upper limb)score,modified Ashworth muscle tension rating,ARAT score and MBI score in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with task oriented training has a significant effect on improving upper limb function in stroke patients and improving their daily living abilities,which is worthy of further promotion and use in clinical practice.
