Effects Of The Combination Of Electro Acupuncture And Flexor And Extensor Alternative Low-frequency Electrical Stimulation On Walking Ability Of Apoplectic Semiplegia Patients

Objective:Using the Gait analysis To observe the effects between the combination of electroacupuncture and flexor and extensor alternative low-frequency electrical stimulation on walking ability of apoplectic semiplegia patients,to confirm the effects of the method of flexor and extensor alternate low-frequency electrical stimulation and provide a truly effective treatment measures for clinical rehabilitation.Methods:We selected 60 apoplectic semiplegia patients with walking disorder and randomly divided them into the treatment group and the control group and,within 30 cases each group.Both two groups of patients were treated with basis of rehabilitation therapy.The control group received electro acupuncture therapy,continuous wave,frequency is 2Hz,30 minutes every day lasting 4 weeks and with one day rest every six day.stimulating acupoints are zusanli yanglinquan xuanzhong and qiuxu on the affected side.The treatment group received flexor and extensor alternation of low-frequency electrical acupoint stimulation treatment,discontinuous wave,frequency is 50Hz,20 minutes each time,and the stimulating acupoints are yanglingquan,xuanzhong,chengshan and Kunlun on the affected side.The duration of treatment in the treatment group were the same as the control group.Using RM gait analysis system,Fulg-Meyer score,Barthel(ADL)index and Tinnetti balanced gait score evaluate the treatment effects.Using SPSS 20.0 statistical software process and analysis the data.Results:Firstly.The differences between prior treatment and post treatment among stride length,velocity,walking base,cadence,single support phase time on the affected side,double support phase time on the affected side of two groups patients are pretty significant(P<0.01).The difference between prior treatment and post treatment among stride length,velocity,walking base,cadence,single support phase time on the affected side,double support phase time on the affected side in the treatment group are significant when compared with the control group(P<0.05),the treatment group was better than the control group;Secondly.The differences between prior treatment and post treatment in the Fulg-Meyer score of two groups of patients were pretty significant(P<0.01).The difference between prior treatment and post treatment of Fulg-Meyer score in the treatment group is significant when compared,the control group(P<0.05)the treatment group was better than the control group;Thirdly.The differences between prior treatment and post treatment in Tinnetti balanced gait score and Barthel(ADL)index are pretty significant(P<0.01),The difference between prior treatment and post treatment of Tinnetti balanced gait score and Barthel(ADL)index in the treatment group is significant when compared the control group(P<0.05),the treatment group was better than the control group.Conclusion:1.Both Electroacupuncture therapy and flexor and extensor alternate low-frequency electrical stimulation treatment and theconventional low-frequency electrical acupoint stimulation treatment can improve the function of walking ability;2.Effect of electro acupuncture combined with flexor andextensor alternative low-frequency electrical acupoint stimulation treatment is better than the conventional electroacupuncture treatment on improving the function of walking ability.
