摘要 [Objectives] To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection of nerve growth factors combined with task-oriented training for patients with post-stroke hemiplegic gait, and quantitatively evaluate the outcomes using the Gait Watch analysis system. [Methods] A total of 90 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia, who were hospitalized at the Rehabilitation Center of Taihe Hospital between January 2023 and December 2023, were selected for this study. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups: the task-oriented rehabilitation training group (control group I, n=30), the ordinary acupuncture combined with task-oriented training group (control group II, n=30), and the acupoint injection combined with task-oriented training group (observation group, n=30). Each group underwent treatment for 4 weeks. The Gait Watch analysis system was employed to assess the spatiotemporal gait parameters of the patients prior to treatment, as well as 2 weeks post treatment and 4 weeks post treatment. The efficacy of the treatment was subsequently analyzed. [Results] After 4 weeks of treatment, the spatiotemporal gait parameters, specifically step length, step speed, step frequency, percentage of the standing phase, and percentage of the swinging phase, exhibited significant improvement in the observation group compared to those before treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, the degree of improvement in the observation group was superior to that observed in both control group I and control group II, with the differences reaching statistical significance (P<0.05). [Conclusions] Acupoint injection combined with task-oriented training has been shown to significantly enhance gait function in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. The Gait Watch analysis system offers an accurate and objective quantitative assessment, making it a valuable tool for clinical application and promotion.
