Abstract
To observe the clinical effect of lower limb muscle abdominal electroacupuncture
combined with PNF in the treatment of hyperextension of knee in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
Methods: Total 80 patients with cerebral apoplexy accompanied by knee hyperextension disorder were
randomly divided into electroacupuncture group (26 cases), PNF group (27 cases), combined group (27 cases).
Patients in the 3 groups were given basic treatment for stroke, the electroacupuncture group was added lower
limb abdominal electroacupuncture treatment, the PNF group was added PNF technology treatment, the
combination group was given lower limb abdominal electroacupuncture combined with PNF technology
treatment, a total of 4 weeks. The frequency of knee hyperextension when walking 50 meters at maximum speed
and the effective rate of Loudon's knee hyperextension were evaluated before treatment and 4 weeks after
treatment. Lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Motor Function score (FMA-LE), standing up and walking timing test
(TUGT) and walking function grade (FAC) were used to evaluate motor function and walking function. Berg
Balance Scale (BBS) was used to evaluate the balance function. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the scores
of FMA-LE, FAC and BBS in 3 groups were significantly increased compared with before treatment (P<0.05),
the number of knee hyperextension and the time of TUGT used in walking at the maximum speed of 50 meters
were decreased compared with before treatment (P<0.05), and the therapeutic effect of the combined group was
significantly better than that of the other two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between
electroacupuncture group and PNF group (P>0.05). In addition, the effective rate of Loudon knee hyperextension
in combination group was significantly higher than that in electroacupuncture group and PNF group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Both lower limb abdominal electroacupuncture and PNF can improve knee hyperextension
disorder in stroke patients with hemiplegia to a certain extent, and the combined treatment of knee
hyperextension disorder in stroke patients with hemiplegia has significant effects, which can effectively improve
the lower limb motor function, knee stability and overall walking function.
