Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical effect of digital acupoint pressure on sensory dysfunction in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Methods From March to December, 2015, 60 hemiplegic patients with sensory dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation exercise, while the obser-vation group received digital acupoint pressure in addition. Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Sense (FMA-S), Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Motor (FMA-M) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the sensory dysfunction, motor function and activities of daily living be-fore and eight weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, the scores of FMA-S, FMA-M and MBI increased in both groups (t>6.430, P<0.01), and the scores were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.100, P<0.05). Conclusion Digital acupoint pressure can facilitate the recovery of sensory dysfunction, improve the motor function and the activties of daily living in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
