Study On Efficiency Of Acupuncture And Modern Rehabilitation Therapy On Participants In Recovery Period Of Stroke In Communities

Objective:To study the efficiency of acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy on limb motor function and ability of daily life improvement of participants in recovery period of stroke and its feasibility in urban communities.Methods:This is a single group of self-control study.56 participants who met the including criteria were treated with acupuncture, and rehabilitation training after stoke. Those in the initial stage of recovery (between 2 weeks to 3 months after stroke) received evaluation once two weeks and those in the late stage (between 3 months to 6 months), once a month. The evaluation scale included Fugl-Meyer scale evaluation and Barthel index. Outcomes of each month were compared with the same scale before treatment. Chi-square test was adopted for data analysis, P>0.05 is of no statistical significance, P<0.05 of statistical significance.Results:After six months’s treatment and evaluation, Fugl-Meyer revealed a significant difference in limbs motor function improvement comparated with that before treatment, which means the therapy will show obvious effective for participants after 1 months of stroke. All 46 participants ended up in level Ⅲ or higher after 6 months, with 71.43% in level IV.The acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy is definitely effective for improvement of motor function. This indicated the acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy for improvement of limb motro function in patients after stroke is completely effective. The Barthel index revealed an obvious improvement only after 1 month of treatment, with significant difference in data analysis.73.2100% of participants have rearched the level of basic self-care life after 3month of treatment, and even 51.79% rearched the level of complete ability on self-care after 6 months.This proved the acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy works well in ADL improvment.Conclusion:Acupuncture and modern rehabilitation therapy, the combination of acupuncture, and rehabilitation training, can improve Fugl-Meyer motor function and the Barthel index score, promote the limb movement function and daily life ability of stroke patients in recovery period.it is the significant curative effect of comprehensive rehabilitation regimen that worth to be widely applied in urban communities.
