ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the therapeutical effect of inflatable shoulder harness on hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder joint.Methods 68 stroke patients with hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder joint were divided into two groups: the experiment group (n=34) and the control group (n=34). All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation for subluxation of shoulder joint, meanwhile, the experiment group wore inflatable shoulder harness. The interval between acromion and caput humeralis were measured according to the X-ray before and after treatment, as well as the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of shoulder pain. Results After 8 week of treatment, the rate of diaplasis or improvement was not different significantly between these groups (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the incidence and VAS score of shoulder pain, and the score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment improved significantly after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion On the basis of routine rehabilitation, inflatable shoulder harness may reduce the incidence and grade of shoulder pain, improve motor function of hemiplegic upper limb further in hemiplegia subluxation of shoulder.
ABSTRACT
Forty-six patients with intractable urticaria were treated by acupuncture plus garlic-partitioned moxibustion. The results were compared with those of simple acupuncture in a control group of 30patients. The total effective rate were 91.3%, in the observation group and 73.3%, in the control group. It is showed that acupuncture plus garlic-partitioned moxibustion has a better effect on intractable urticaria than simple acupuncture.
