Methods: Sixty patients with apoplectic hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group was treated by "remissive stage-reinforcing and acute stage- reducing" acupuncture and the control group by modem rehabilitation training. Before and after treatment, the degree of spasm, the level of motor function and ability for daily life were evaluated by modified Ashwordth spasm grading, Brunnstrom grading and Barthel index now often used in the rehabilitation field.
