| Popis: | Objective To observe the effects of fuzhengbutu (strengthening antipathogenic qi and tonifying the earth) acupuncture–moxibustion therapy on walking function in the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. Methods A total of 57 patients with hemiplegia after ischemic stroke treated in our hospital from January 2018 through to October 2018 were collected as the study objects. According to random number table, they were divided into a treatment group (29 cases) and a control group (28 cases). In the treatment group, the fuzhengbutu acupuncture–moxibustion therapy combined with rehabilitation treatment was adopted. In the control group, the rehabilitation treatment was given. The persistent walking time and pause time in PIERENSTEP gait measurable training and test system as well as the score of Berg balance scale (BBS) were compared between the two groups. Results In the treatment group, the persistent walking time after treatment(1.47 ± 0.28) s was shorter obviously versus before treatment (2.12 ± 0.38) s, indicating the significant difference (P 0.05). In the control group, the persistent walking time after treatment (1.88 ± 0.22) s was shorter obviously versus before treatment (2.18 ± 0.30) s, indicating the significant difference (P 0.05). Before treatment, the differences were not significant in the persistent walking time and pause duration in the patients of either group (P > 0.05). After treatment, the persistent walking time in the treatment group was shorter obviously than the control group (P 0.05). Before treatment, there was no difference in BBS score between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the treatment group, BBS score (42.79 ± 2.78) after treatment was higher than (35.86 ± 2.64) before treatment, indicating the significant difference (P Conclusion Based on rehabilitation treatment, Fuzhengbutu acupuncture–moxibustion therapy effectively improves the walking function of the patients with hemiplegia after ischemic stroke. |
