'Treating Wei by effecting Yangming indirectly'for akupotomy treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia
'Treating Wei by effecting Yangming indirectly'is an important Chinese medicine treatment for stroke hemiplegia.The Wei of spastic hemiplegia after stroke has two kinds of manifestations:'muscle spasm(Jin Wei)'and'muscle weakness(Rou Wei)'.According to the principle of sports anatomy and biomechanics,LU Shengchun proposed that akupotomye treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia should treat other Yangming meridian parts in order to strengthen Yangming meridional tendon indirectly and improve limb motor function.For example,according to the principle of antagonistic muscle balance active muscle,the release of the attachment point of pectoralis major muscle is beneficial to relieve the muscles distributed on hand Yangming meridional tendon and to make them easier to raise the arm.For example,according to the most consistent with the principle of biomechanics,with the activation of the hamstring muscle,reduce the hyperextension of the knee joint,so as to relieve the spasm of the muscles distributed in the foot Yangming meridional tendon of leg,and then to lift the leg with the less effort.For example,according to the mechanism of core muscle stability,activate the core muscle group of the back of trunk can be beneficial to the stability of the core muscles of the front of the truck where the foot Yangming meridional tendon is distributed.The above'treating Wei by effecting Yangming indirectly'can be explained by the traditional Chinese medicine of'inducing yang from yin'and regulating the qi and blood of Yangming meridional tendon.The article cited the evidence of clinical studies and a clinical case.
