针灸对中风后步态缺陷的影响尚不确定。这项动物研究旨在确定针灸是否改善实验诱导的缺血性中风后的步态障碍。采用永久性大脑中动脉闭塞（MCAO）方法建立大鼠缺血性脑卒中模型。针刺治疗7天后，使用CatWalk自动步态分析系统进行步态变化评估。组间CatWalk步态参数的比较表明，缺血性卒中后步态功能受损，针刺治疗可有效改善术后第8天的各种步态参数，包括强度、站立和摆动时间、摆动速度和步长。这项研究表明，针刺对缺血性中风后大鼠步态障碍的有益作用。进一步的研究，旨在调查针灸在中风不同阶段的影响，使用猫走系统是必要的。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
The effect of acupuncture on gait deficits after stroke is uncertain. This animal study was designed to determine whether acupuncture improves gait impairment following experimentally induced ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. After 7 days' of acupuncture treatment, assessment of gait changes using the CatWalk automated gait analysis system was performed. Comparison of the CatWalk gait parameters among the groups showed that gait function was impaired after ischemic stroke and acupuncture treatment was effective in improving a variety of gait parameters including intensity, stance and swing time, swing speed and stride length at postoperative day 8. This study demonstrates a beneficial effect of acupuncture on gait impairment in rats following ischemic stroke. Further studies aimed to investigate the effects of acupuncture at different stages during stroke using the CatWalk system are required. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
