Clinical Observation of Elongated Needle Early Intervention for Foot Inversion after Stroke
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of elongated needle early intervention to treat foot inver-sion after stroke.Methods:A total of 67 patients with foot inversion after stroke were randomly divided into the control group(34 cases)and the treatment group(33 cases).Both groups received routine rehabilitation training.The control group was treated with regular acupuncture,while the treatment group was treated with elongated nee-dle therapy of Yanglingquan penetrating the Xuanzhong,while Qiuxu penetrating the Zhaohai.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.The changes in Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)scores,modified Barthel Index(MBI)scores,POMA scores(gait and balance tests)and foot inversion angle were observed before and after treat-ment in both groups.Results:The overall effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,both groups showed significantly higher scores in lower limb FMA scores and MBI scores compared with their respective pre-treatment scores(P＜0.05),with the treatment group showing high-er scores than the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,both groups showed significantly higher scores in gait scores and balance scores compared with their respective pre-treatment scores(P＜0.05),with the treatment group showing higher scores than the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the foot inversion angle decreased in both groups compared with their respective pre-treatment measurements(P＜0.05),with the treatment group showing a greater reduction than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Elongated needle early intervention can improve lower limb motor function,daily life ability,and foot inversion angle in patients with foot inversion after stroke.It can also enhance the patients'motor abilities,and its therapeutic efficacy is superior to traditional acupuncture.
