Abstract:To observe the rehabilitation effect of acupuncture combined with mirror feedback therapy on the rehabilitation of spastic lower limb motor function in patients with cerebral apoplexy. Methods:A total of 60 patients with cerebral apoplexy admitted to Huangshan People's Hospital were randomly divided into a control group (n=30) and an observation group (n=30). The patients in the control group were treated with mirror feedback training on the basis of routine drug therapy and rehabilitation training in the Department of Neurology, and the patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture on the basis of the control group, 30 min/time, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. The motor score standard (MAS), Fugl-Meyer lower limb motor function scale (FMA), Berg balance function scale (BBS), activities of daily living (ADL), surface electromyography (EMG) and three-dimensional gait parameters were compared between the 2 groups. Results:1) After 4-week treatment, the MAS of quadriceps femoris and triceps calf of the 2 groups were improved, and the observation group was better than the control group. 2) After treatment, the levels of FMA, BBS and ADL in the 2 groups were higher than those before treatment, and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). 3) The walking frequency, stride length, walking speed, maximum dorsiflexion angle and maximum metatarsal flexion angle of ankle joint in the 2 groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the observation group was better than the control group (P<0.05). 4) After treatment, the MVC and EMG of the quadriceps femoris and triceps of the lower extremities in the 2 groups were higher than those before treatment, and the increase in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with mirror therapy has a good effect on patients with spastic hemiplegia after stroke. It is recommended for clinical application.
