Abstract：Objective:To observe the curative effects of post-stroke finger contracture treated with acupunc-ture. Methods:Sixty cases of post-stroke finger contracture were randomly divided into a treatment group (30 cases) and a control group(30 cases). Routine medicine and rehabilitation trainings were applied in both groups;and acupuncture was also applied in the treatment group. Muscular tone,hand motion disorder,and activities of daily living(ADL) were evaluated in both groups before and after treatment. Results:After treat-ment,the scores of modified Ashworth scale,motor coordination ability and sensory function,scores of Lind mark scale and Bathel index were improved significantly in both groups(P<0.01),and the motor coordina-tion ability,total score of Lindmark scale and Bathel index in the treatment group were superior to those in the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with rehabilitation trainings could obviously improve the hand dysfunction after stroke,relieve spasm and improve ADL.
