the FM value and Barthel index score of all the three groups are significantly increased （P<0.01）.The FM value and Barthel index score after 28 days’ treatment were higher than those after 14 days’ treatment （P<0.05）.Compared with the Rehabilitation group

the improvement of Jinsanzhen group and Jinsanzhen plus rehabilitation groups in the FM value was significant after 28 days’ treatment （P<0.05）;and the difference in the Jinsanzhen plus rehabilitation group in Barthel index score was significant after 28 days’ treatment （P<0.05）.Conclusion Jinsanzhen therapy is effective in promoting the motor function and activities of daily life of the apoplectic hemiplegia patients.The effect will be better in case it is applied together with rehabilitation.
