| Objective To investigate the application effect of stroke patients with upper limb hemiplegia respond to modified Wuqinxi in conjunction with graded motor imagery training. Methods The study''s subjects were 60 stroke patients who were diagnosed and treated at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine''s Cangnan Branch between September 2024 and February 2025. The patients were split into two groups, each consisting of thirty cases, in accordance with the random number table approach. Graded motor imagery training was used as an intervention for the control group, while modified Wuqinxi in conjunction with graded motor imagery training was used for the observation group. For four weeks, both groups received constant intervention.The two groups were compared before and after the 4-week intervention in terms of limb function [simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment scale upper limb part score (sFMA-UE), lower limb part score (FMA-LE)], balance ability [Berg balance scale (BBS)], gait condition [Tinetti gait assessment scale (TGA)], trunk, and coordination ability [trunk injury scale (TIS)]. Results Following four weeks of intervention, both groups'' sFMA-UE, FMA-LE, BBS, TIS, and TGA scores were higher than they were prior to the intervention, and the observation group''s score improvement was more pronounced than the control group''s(P<0.05). Conclusion For stroke patients with upper limb hemiplegia, the modified Wuqinxi in conjunction with graded motor imagery training can significantly enhance postural control and balance, and improve the motor function and gait of the affected side. |
