Most patients after stroke are accompanied by limb dyskinesia, which often leads to the decline of self-care ability and seriously influents the quality of life. Conventional western medicine has a poor effect on the rehabilitation of patients’ neurological and limb functions, while acupoint massage combined with rehabilitation training and other traditional Chinese medicine nursing techniques can effectively promote the early rehabilitation of limb functions of patients after stroke. By summarizing the relevant research reports of acupoint massage in limb function rehabilitation of patients after stroke in recent years, it is found that the curative effect of single acupoint massage therapy on limb function rehabilitation of patients after stroke is not clear, the studies on its relevant molecular mechanism are of few numbers, and its clinical application is limited due to the complexity of dialectical acupoint selection. In future research, it is necessary to clarify the efficacy and mechanism of acupoint massage, optimize and simplify the actual operation process of acupoint massage, so as to facilitate its popularization and application in clinic, family and community.
