Study on effect of acupuncture and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined therapy in acute phase of stroke hemiplegic patients with shoulder joint subluxation

Objective To study the efficacy of acupuncture and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined therapy on acute phase of stroke hemiplegic patients with shoulder joint subluxation.Methods Sixty cases of acute phase of stroke with hemiplegia were randomly divided into two groups,proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation therapy group and body acupuncture combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation therapy group,each with 30 cases.Correlation analysis was carried out on recovery of motor function and complications of hemiplegic stroke patients.Results The therapy of body acupuncture combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on acute phase of stroke hemiplegic shoulder subluxation was superior to that of simple proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation evaluated by simplified Fugl-Meyer upper limb motor function scores,shoulder and elbow joint activity evaluation and improvement index,there was significant difference between these two groups in t test.Conclution The therapy of body acupuncture combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation can effectively expedite the therapeutic process of patients with shoulder subluxation in acute phase of stroke hemiplegia,improve the ability of daily living activities and raise their quality of life.
