| EN Abstract: |
| Objective: To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on lower limb motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients. Method: Thirty-three patients with stroke were randomly divided into two groups: observation group (n=16) and control group (n=17). Both groups were treated by regular rehabilitation therapy. In addition, the observation group was given TEAS for 30 min per day, totally 4 weeks. Two groups were evaluated by Fugl-Meyer assessment of lower extremity (FMA-LE), Holden functional ambulation classification (HFAC) and modified Bathel index (MBI) before and after four-week intervention. Result: All the measurements were significantly improved after treatments in the observation group, only MBI scores improved significantly in the control group after treatment (P<0.05), and the observation group achieved more improvement than the control group (P<0.05) expect HAFC scores. Conclusions: TEAS can further improve lower limb motor function and activities of daily living of stroke patients. |
