Abstract：Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of neuromuscular facilitation techniques (NFT) on hemiplegic stroke patients'osteoporosis through the detections of serum leptin (LP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone gla-protein (BGP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and bone mineral density (BMD).Methods Fifty-two hemiplegic stroke patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:the control group which received conventional treatment, and the treatment group which received NFT early be-sides conventional treatment.The serum LP, ALP, BGP, IL-6 and BMD of all cases in the second day of admission and 6 months after the treatment were detected by using ELISA method and double X-ray absorption method, and then contrastive analysis was conducted.Results The BMD of hemiplegic limbs between the two groups 6 months later, and the BMD between the hemiplegic limbs and the healthy limbs in the control group 6 months later all had statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).The se-rum ALP, BGP, IL-6 and LP levels 6 months later all had statistically significant differences between the two groups ( all P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusions NFT can affect the patients'bone metabolic markers and increase the BMD of hemiplegic limbs;NFT should be given to the hemiplegic stroke patients for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis .
