Text: After treatment, the differences in the gait cycle, the phase time of standing (%), the phase time of single support (%), the phase time of unilateral sway (%) on the affected (healthy) foot and phase time of double support (%) were significant as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P < 0. 05), in which, the gait cycle (1. 75 + / - 0. 21 vs 2. 02 + / - 0. 37), the phase time of standing (%) on the affected (healthy) foot [(65. 41 + / - 5. 20) % vs (68. 37 + / - 6. 24) %, (70. 99 + / - 6. 47) % vs (74. 51 + / - 5. 19) %], the phase time of unilateral sway (%) on the affected (healthy) foot [(36. 08 + / - 4. 86) % vs (33. 65 + / - 2. 94) %, (31. 04 + / - 3. 41) % vs (26. 77 + / - 2. 67) %] and the phase time of double support (%) [(36. 91 + / - 5. 10) % vs (41. 22 + / - 5. 39) %] in the yin-yang needling group were improved much obviously after treatment as compared with those in the conventional acupuncture group.
