simplified Fugl -Meyer assessment method and Barthel’s ADL index were used to evaluate spasm extent
functional level of motor and daily living ability
respectively
to reflect functional level of the patient. 90 Cases of hemiplagia due to apoplexy were randomly divided into treatment group (60 cases) and control group (30 cases). Comprehensive rehabilitation exercises of TCM were used in the treatment group and modern rehabilitation exercises were used in the control group. Results indicated that the improving action of comprehensive rehabilitation method of TCM on spasticity was superior to that of the control group
with marked improvement of motor function level and living ability in the two groups. It is suggested that rehabilitation method of TCM has distinct advantage
and rehabilitation methods of TCM and Western medicine are of complementarity.
