Evaluation of Triple Directional Needling in Treating Ankle Dorsiflexion Disorder After Stroke by Gait Analysis and Surface Electromyography: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective To observe the effect of triple directional needling on gait and surface electromyography(s EMG) in patients with ankle dorsiflexion disorder after stroke. Method Forty eligible patients were randomized into two groups. Twenty patients in the control group were intervened by conventional acupuncture; 20 patients in the treatment group were intervened by triple directional needling. Before the treatment, the bilateral step length, maximum angle of active ankle dorsiflexion, and s EMG of gastrocnemi...
