RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of fixed-foot stance Yunshou combined with raising handclasp of Bobath on the recovery of upper extremity in post- stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Meeting the criteria 59 cases of stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into experimental group (29 cases) and control group(30 cases) according to random number table.All the patients in both groups were received routine therapy and nursing,besides,the patients in the control group were given raising handclasp of Bobath,while the patients in experimental group were treated with fixed-foot stance Yunshou combined with raising handclasp of Bobath.The intervention were once a day,five days a week,lasting eight weeks.The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity(FMA-UE)and Modified Barthel Index(MBI) as well as Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function(STEF) were used to assess the patients′condition before,8 weeks after treatment respectively. Results After 8weeks intervention,the scores of FMA-UE,MBI,STEF were 40.69±8.67,76.89±1.79,59.31±7.89 and before intervention were 24.17 ± 11.98,57.14 ± 13.93,31.83 ± 5.41, the difference between the experimental group before and after intervention was statistically significant(t=13.222,8.755,18.311,P<0.01).At 8 weeks,the scores of FMA-UE, MBI, STEF in the control group were 35.47 ± 9.68,73.17 ± 2.82,49.47 ± 8.78, and were17.38 ± 4.10,37.38 ± 4.30, 74.62 ± 11.22 respectively before intervention,all the measures in control groups had significantly improved than those before training (t=-4.797, 7.372, 17.139, P<0.01).Score of FMA-UE and STEF in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.180, 4.525, P<0.05 or 0.01), while the MBI had no statistically difference between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with training on raising handclasp of Bobath alone,fixed-foot stance Yunshou combined with raising handclasp of Bobath is more effective On the recovery of upper limb function in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on post-stroke upper limb spasmodic hemiplegia between the combined therapy ofneedling technique and Bobath technology and simple Bobath technology.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. The usual medication of neurological internal medicine was used in the two groups. In the control group, Bobath facilitation technology was applied to the rehabilitation training. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group,needling technique was used to stimulate Zhongfu (LU 1), Tianfu (LU 3), Chize (LU 5), Quchi (LI 11), Jianshi (PC 5) and Daling (PC 7). The treatment was given once a day; 5 treatments made one session and totally 4-week treatment was required in the two groups. The modified Ashworth scale, the modified Fugle-Meyer assessment (FMA) and the Barthel index (BI) were adopted to evaluate the muscular tension, the upper limb motor function and the activities of daily living (ADL) before and after treatment in the two groups. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with those before treatment, the modified Ashworth scale, Fugl-Meyer score and BI score were all improved after treatment in the two groups (all<0.01). The results in the observation group were better than those in the control group (all<0.01). The total clinical effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) in the observation group and was 80.0% (24/30) in the control group. The efficacy in the observation group was better than that in the control group (<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Theneedling technique combined with Bobath therapy achieve the superior efficacy on post-stroke upper limb spasmodic hemiplegia as compared with the simple application Bobath therapy. This combined treatment effectively relieve spasmodic state and improve the upper limb motor function and the activities of daily living.</p>
