摘要
Objective: To observe the effect of applying tuina to exterior-interiorly connected meridians for post-stroke upper limb spasticity. Methods: A total of 150 patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=75) and a control group (n=75) by the random number table. Patients in the treatment group received tuina on exterior-interiorly connected meridians, whereas patients in the control group received standard rehabilitation therapy. The therapeutic efficacies in both groups were observed after 3 weeks of treatment. Results: The total effective rate in the treatment group was 89.3%, versus 61.3% in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After the treatment, the muscle tones by the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (both P<0.05); and the improvement of muscle tone was more significant in the treatment group than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Applying tuina to exterior-interiorly connected meridians can obtain an exact efficacy for post-stroke upper limb spasticity. © 2017, Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
