Abstract：Objective: To study the rehabilitation effect of the core neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) combined with core stability training on motor impairment in patients with brain injury. Methods: Fifty cases of brain injury patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from June 2014 to October 2016 were randomly divided into the controlled group and the treated group with 25 cases in each, the controlled was given with PNF, and the treated was given with PNF combined with core stability training, but the same method was taken which was one treatment for 30 min, 1/d, 6 d/week and 8 weeks total. The efficacy of motor function was evaluated by Berg balance scale (BBS), trunk control ability test (TCT), maximum walking speed (MWS) and modified Barther index (MBI) before and after treatment respectively. Results: After treatment BBS, TCT, MWS of the two groups significantly improved, the difference was significant (P<0.05), no significant improvement of MBI (P>0.05); the two groups were compared with each other after treatment, BBS, TCT and MWS of the treated group were significantly higher than the other (P<0.05 MBI), no significant difference was found between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The core stability training and PNF technology can improve the motor function of patients with brain injury, and the combination of the two techniques is better.
