Abstract

Background: Stroke causes severe consequences for patients' motor function and self-care ability, necessitating effective intervention methods. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of motor function recovery in post-stroke patients through electroacupuncture combined with physical therapy and to analyze factors influencing recovery outcomes. Subjects and Methods: The study was conducted on 145 patients at Ca Mau Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in 2024. Results: The average Barthel Index increased from 36.21 ± 18.33 before treatment to 64.35 ± 17.84 after treatment (p = 0.000), with the rate of independent living increasing from 4.14% (6 cases) to 52.41% (76 cases) and the overall improvement rate reaching 77.93%. Analysis of factors showed that female patients, the under 60 age group, patients with good initial independence levels, early treatment time, and cerebral infarction patients had better recovery levels compared to the remaining group with odds ratios of OR = 2.76 (p = 0.03), OR = 3.01 (p = 0.04), OR = 2.77 (p = 0.04), OR = 4.21 (p = 0.007), and OR = 2.81 (p = 0.01), respectively. Conclusion: The combined method of electroacupuncture and physical therapy yielded significant results in improving motor function and self-care ability, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
