Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture combined with rehabilitation technology on the recovery of motor function in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods 105 patients with cerebral infarction were divided into 3 groups with 35 cases in each group. The comprehensive rehabilitation group received routine rehabilitation and electroacupuncture therapy, the general rehabilitation group only received routine rehabilitation, the control group received no intervention. They were treated once a day, 10 times as a course.Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was used to assess the motor function after 3 courses. Results The scores of FMA were higher in both rehabilitation groups than in the control group (P<0.05), and it was higher in the comprehensive group than in the general group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with modern rehabilitation technology could facilitate to recover motor function in patients with cerebral infarction.
