Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the effect of Chinese medicine in combination with rehabilitation training on extremity function and life quality in cerebral infarction patients. Method: One hundred and sixty cases with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into control group and experience group. All the patients received routine western medical treatment and early rehabilitation training. Experience group was given nourishing Qi and activating blood circulation medicine therapy. The course of treatment was 1 month. Fugl-meyer assessment (FMA) and Spitzer scales were used to evaluate extremity function and life quality. Meanwhile

the change of blood rheology indexwas compared between two groups. Result: The effective rates in experience group and control group were 91.3% and 75.0% (P<0.05)

respectively;after treatment

FMA and Spitzer scores in experience group were much higher than those in control group (P<0.01)

and blood rheology index of experience group was superior to control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Chinese medicine in combination with rehabilitation training can greatly improve the extremity function and life quality of cerebral infarction patients.
