Abstract

Abstract:

Background

Cerebral infarction often leads to lower limb motor dysfunction and reduces patients' quality of life. Previous studies have shown that acupuncture combined with mirror therapy can improve lower limb dysfunction in patients with cerebral infarction, but there are few studies and the evaluation methods need to be supplemented.

Objective

To analyse the clinical efficacy of Jin's three needles therapy combined with mirror therapy in the treatment of lower limb dysfunction in patients with cerebral infarction based on surface electromyography (sEMG) .

Methods

Ninety lower limb dysfunction with cerebral infarction patients in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and the Department of Neurology of Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University from July to December in 2022 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the Jin's three needles therapy group, mirror therapy group and Jin's three needles therapy combined with mirror therapy group. Patients in all three groups received basic treatment, Jin's three needles therapy was added to the Jin's three needles therapy group, knee mirror training was added to the mirror therapy group, and the Jin's three needles therapy and knee mirror training were both added to the Jin's three needles therapy combined with mirror therapy group. All three groups were treated once/d, 5 times/week, for a total of 4 weeks. sEMG was used to evaluate the function of the lower limb muscle and nervous system of the affected side before and after treatment, including time-domain index〔root mean square (RMS) 〕 and frequency-domain index〔median frequency (MF) 〕. Lower limb motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) .

Results

There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of RMS and MF of biceps femoris, anterior tibial muscle, rectus femoris and gastrocnemius muscle in the affected side after 4 weeks of treatment between the mirror therapy group and the Jin's three-needle therapy group (P>0.05) . The scores of RMS and MF of biceps femoris, anterior tibial muscle, rectus femoris and gastrocnemius of the affected side after 4 weeks of treatment in the Jin's three-needle therapy combined with mirror therapy group were higher than those in the Jin's three needles therapy and mirror therapy group (P<0.05) . The FMA-LE scores of patients after 4 weeks of treatment in the Jin's three needles therapy combined with mirror therapy group were higher than those in the Jin's three-needle therapy and mirror therapy groups (P<0.05) .

Conclusion

Compared with the Jin's three-needle therapy or mirror therapy, Jin's three-needle therapy combined with mirror therapy can more effectively improve the lower limb muscle nervous system function and motor function of patients with cerebral infarction.

摘要：

背景

脑梗死常导致患者下肢功能障碍，降低生活质量。研究显示针刺结合镜像疗法可改善脑梗死患者下肢功能障碍，但研究尚少，且评价方法有待补充。

目的

基于表面肌电图（sEMG）分析靳三针结合镜像疗法对脑梗死患者下肢功能障碍的影响。

方法

选取2022年7—12月南方医科大学深圳医院康复医学科、神经内科住院部的90例脑梗死下肢功能障碍患者为研究对象，依据随机数字表法将其分为靳三针组、镜像组、靳三针+镜像组，每组30例。三组患者均给予基础治疗，靳三针组在基础治疗上增加靳三针治疗，镜像组在基础治疗上增加膝关节镜像训练，靳三针+镜像组则在基础治疗上增加靳三针治疗和膝关节镜像训练。三组均治疗1次/d，5次/周，共治疗4周。采用sEMG评估治疗前后患侧下肢肌肉神经系统功能，包括时域指标〔均方根值（RMS）〕和频域指标〔中位频率（MF）〕；采用简化Fugl-Meyer量表中的下肢部分（FMA-LE）评分评估下肢运动功能。

结果

镜像组与靳三针组患者患侧股二头肌、胫骨前肌、股直肌、腓肠肌治疗4周后RMS、MF比较，差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；靳三针+镜像组患者患侧股二头肌、胫骨前肌、股直肌、腓肠肌治疗4周后RMS、MF均高于靳三针组、镜像组（P<0.05）。靳三针+镜像组患者患侧股二头肌、胫骨前肌、股直肌、腓肠肌治疗4周后RMS、MF高于组内治疗前（P<0.05）。靳三针+镜像组患者治疗4周后FMA-LE评分高于靳三针组、镜像组（P<0.05）。

结论

与靳三针、镜像疗法单独治疗相比，靳三针结合镜像疗法能更有效改善脑梗死患者的下肢肌肉神经系统功能及运动功能。
