Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of rehabilitation training combined with electrical acupoint stimulation for hand function of hemiplegic patients.Methods30 hemiplegic patients with hand dysfunction were divided into two groups (observation group and control group, 15 cases in each group), which were given rehabilitation training for hand function. The observation group was given additional acupoint electrical stimulation. Fugl-Meyer motor function score method, classification of hand function, range of motion score were applied to assess the two groups.ResultsThe hand function of the two groups improved(P<0.01), while the observation group was better than the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionRehabilitation training combined with electrical acupoint stimulation can more effectively improve hand function of the hemiplegic patients.

Key words: hemiplegia, hand function, acupoint, electrical stimulation
