Impact of Acupuncture Combined with Electromyographic Biofeedback Therapy on the Motor Function of Patients with Forearm Supination Dysfunction After Cerebral Infarction
Objective:To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with electromyographic biofeedback therapy on the treatment of patients with forearm supination dysfunction after cerebral infarction and its impact on motor function.Methods:A total of 122 patients with forearm supination dysfunction after cerebral infarction who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group and the study group,with 61 cases in each group.The control group received conventional symptomatic treatment,while the study group was treated with acupuncture combined with electromyographic biofeedback therapy in addition to the conventional treatment.Both groups were treated for one month.Neurological function deficit score(NIHSS),clinical spasm index(CSI)score,Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment(FMA)score,Carroll Upper Extremity Function Test(UEFT)score,joint range of motion,and scores of each dimension of the Comprehensive Quality of Life Evaluation Scale(GQOLI-74)were compared before and after treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,NIHSS and CSI scores were significantly lower after treatment in both groups(P<0.05),with the study group showing lower scores than the control group(P<0.01).FMA score,UEFT score,and joint range of motion were significantly higher after treatment in both groups compared to before treatment(P<0.05),with the study group showing higher scores than the control group(P<0.01).The scores of each dimension of GQOLI-74 were significantly higher after treatment in both groups compared to before treatment(P<0.05),with the study group showing higher scores than the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with electromyographic biofeedback therapy can improve neurological function,reduce limb spasticity,promote the recovery of motor function,and enhance the quality of life in patients with forearm supination dysfunction after cerebral infarction.
