Abstract

Objective: To assess moto-functional rehabilitation of the hemiplegia patient after ischaemic stroke treated with a combination of electroacupuncture and training bicycle. Subject and method: Clinical trial comparison between two groups: 1) 60 patients with the combination, and 2) 60 patients with only electroacupuncture with the same therapy. Result: After the treatment, clinical trial indexes (muscle force, modified Rankin, Barthel, Orgorozo) on both groups are improved (p<0.001). In addition, the results of the group with the combination were better than those of the other group (p<0.001). Conclusion: The treatment with the combination of electroacupuncture and training bicycle on the hemiplegia patients  after ischaemic stroke indicates the effectiveness through clinical trial indexes.


Keywords: Ischaemic stroke, hemiplegia, electroacupuncture, training bicycle, rehabilitation.
