Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report the effect of Korean medical treatment on left basal ganglia infarction. Methods : We performed acupuncture and administered herbal medicine to one patient to alleviate symptoms of hemiplegia such as motor disorder, facial palsy, and dysarthria. Manual Muscle Test(MMT), Hand Grip Test(HGT), Gait Level(GL), and Dysarthria grade were used to evaluate status of the patient. Results & Conclusions : The results of this research showed that overall symptoms of hemiplegia in the patient were improved. According to the results, the Korean medical treatment is considered to be effective on patients of left basal ganglia infarction to treat symptoms of hemiplegia. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to examine this issue.
