Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Age 18–80 years, gender; (2) Confirmed diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, with lesions confirmed by CT or MRI imaging; (3) Disease duration of 1 month (=28 days) and =6 months (subacute to early chronic stage), with no progressive neurological deterioration; (4) Hemiplegia of one lower limb, with significant weakness in dorsiflexion of the foot or hip flexion (subjective/objective evidence): Lower limb Fugl–Meyer score (FMA-LL) between 10–25 points; (5) Able to understand and cooperate to perform simple movements and testing tasks (able to complete dorsiflexion or leg-lifting movements as instructed), or able to complete passive-active tasks with physical assistance; (6) Stable rehabilitation and medical treatment for more than 2 weeks, willing to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Severe cognitive or language impairments that prevent understanding or cooperation with the testing tasks; 2. History of severe lower limb bone-joint diseases, tendon ruptures, or peripheral neuropathy, where the cause of functional impairment is not central; 3. Skin breakdown, infection, ulcers, or severe local circulatory impairment at the lesion site, making acupuncture manipulation unsuitable; 4. Severe spasticity or extremely high muscle tone, or obvious tendon contractures that prevent standardized tasks from being performed; 5. Presence of implantable cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, or other devices contraindicated for electrical stimulation, or other devices that conflict with sEMG or electrophysiological equipment; 6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 7. Severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, hepatic or renal failure, active bleeding, or coagulation disorders, or other severe systemic diseases; 8. Receipt of acupuncture, micro-needle, or electrical stimulation interventions targeting the same area within the past month, or current participation in other interventional clinical trials; 9. intolerance or allergy to acupuncture; 10. Other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the investigator.
