This case study was reported to show the effects of Seongnoe-gaegyubeop acupuncture treatment. The methods were applied to patients who had the sequela of cerebral vescular accident(CVA) and had no progression for 3~6 months after the onset of CVA. The patients had no progression in spite of receiving medical treatment for 3~6 months after the onset of CVA. The patients were treated with Seongnoe-gaegyubeop acupuncture treatment. The patient's standing, sitting state and activities of daily life like dressing, feeding etc were assessed by Berg balance scale, Barthel Index and Manual Muscle Testing. After 3 months of this treatment, the standing, sitting state and activities of daily life were improved. I think that acupuncture treatment of Seongnoe-gaegyubeop is effective treatment method to treat the patient who caused the sequela of CVA.
