About

At present, domestic scholars have applied medicine stick therapy and repetitive facial exercise (RFE) to the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients, but there are few relevant literature reports on medicine stick therapy combined with RFE and show the differences in the effects of the two different treatment methods. To this end, this study intends to follow up the effects and effects of drug stick therapy and its combined effect with RFE on the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients after stroke, and follow up the patients' limb motor function, daily life activity ability, quality of life, balance function, etc.

At present, domestic scholars have applied medicine stick therapy and repetitive facial exercise (RFE) to the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients, but there are few relevant literature reports on medicine stick therapy combined with RFE and show the differences in the effects of the two different treatment methods. To this end, this study intends to follow up the effects and effects of drug stick therapy and its combined effect with RFE on the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients after stroke, and follow up the patients' limb motor function, daily life activity ability, quality of life, balance function, etc.; use the Fugl-Meyer motor function evaluation scale, Barthel index, Brunnstrom grading, Holden walking function and other scales to conduct multi-angle evaluation of stroke patients, combine traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation with Western medicine rehabilitation treatment, combine these two different treatment technologies, give full play to their respective advantages and integrated effects to verify. The specific research content includes: participant recruitment and screening, random grouping design, baseline evaluation, treatment intervention, post-treatment evaluation, data statistics and analysis. This study aims to explore the feasibility and advantages of the combined application of drug stick therapy combined with RFE to provide more effective treatment methods for rehabilitation of stroke patients.

7 participants in 2 patient groups

Medication stick therapy +Repetitive facilitative exercise

Experimental group

Description:

1. Medication stick therapy:The specific operation is as follows: The patient lies down, holds the rods with both hands, and massages and squeezes the muscles from the muscle end towards the starting end while applying the medicinal wine. This causes the muscles to contract in a centripetal direction. The treatment is considered successful when there is local heat and the skin becomes flushed. It is performed 20 minutes per time, once a day, 6 times a week, for a total of 6 weeks. 2. Repetitive facilitative exercise: It includes specific movement patterns of the affected lower limb and weight-bearing training on the healthy side.Each movement pattern is performed 100 repetitions with the therapist's assistance, once a day, 6 days a week, for a total of 6 weeks of continuous treatment.
