Abstract：Objective:To explore the application effect of Huatuo Wuqinxi training camp in patients with post stroke depression(PSD).Methods:All 82 PSD patients admitted to hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 were di-vided into groups using a random number table method.41 patients in the control group were given routine rehabilita-tion intervention,while 41 patients in the observation group received Huatuo Wuqinxi concentrated training camp inter-vention on the basis of the control group,lasting for 8 weeks.The depressive state,activities of daily living(ADL),sleep quality and motor function were compared between the two groups.Results:Before intervention,there were no significant differences in the scores of hamilton depression scale(HAMD),pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),Bar-thel index(BI)and simplified motor assessment scale(FMA)between the two groups(P＞0.05).After intervention,the scores of HAMD and PSQI in the two groups were lower than those before intervention,and the scores in the ob-servation group were lower than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The scores of Bi and FMA in the two groups after intervention were higher than those before intervention,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Huatuo Wuqinxi training camp can improve the depression of PSD patients,promote their ability of daily living,improve their sleep disorder,and facilitate the recovery of limb motor function.
