Based on Brunnstroms six stages of recovery from hemiplegia, the acupuncture and moxibustion strategies for apoplectic hemiplegia should be a combination of conventional acupuncture and moxibustion and modern neurodevelopmental treatment. Based on Brunnstroms theory, acupuncture is performed in the flaccidity stage to induce muscle tone; in the spasticity stage, acupuncture is performed for spastic muscle and antagonistic muscle to balance yin and yang; in the isolated movement stage, the focus of acupuncture should be shifted to the local area; in the sequela stage, a combination of various acupuncture and moxibustion techniques should be used for treatment.
