Abstract

Objective

To investigate the acupuncture effect for post-apoplectic spasticity.

Methods

Modified Ashworth spasticity rating, Brunnstrom grades, Barthel ADL (Activity of Daily Living) indexes were employed to assess the spasticity, motor function and activities of daily living (ADL), and thus observe the effect of combined scalp and body acupuncture for post-apoplectic hemiplegic patients.

Results

Combined scalp and body acupuncture can obtain significantly better effects than body acupuncture alone in relieving spasticity and improving the patients’ motor function and ADL (P<0.01).

Conclusion

Combined scalp and body acupuncture has a distinct advantage in relieving spasticity and can improve the patients’ motor function and ADL.
