Abstract
Based on the function of xi-cleft points and shu-streams points and in association with the anatomic structure where the acupoints are located, Cixi (stimulating meridian qi at xi-cleft points) is used for regulating the physical appearance, while Tongshu (promoting the qi circulation of shu-stream points) is for regulating the spirit. The depth and direction of needle insertion are controlled and deqi is determined by muscle twitching so as to relax the muscles. Rehabilitation training is combined to restore the foot proprioceptive sensibility. The above comprehensive method co-works on correcting post-stroke foot inversion and recovering walking ability in the patients.
