ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the effects of neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) or isotonic muscle training on dynamic and static balance in healthy young men. Methods:October, 2019, twelve students of Capital Medical University School of Rehabilitation Medicine (aged 20 to 29) were evaluated the balance indexes of single leg standing on stable support with eyes closing and single leg standing on unstable support with eyes opening with BIODEX Balance Tester, and measured 10-meter walking time and Timed 'Up and Go' Test (TUGT) after non-intervention, NJF ankle joint pattern and ankle flexion and extension. Results:The balance indexes, 10-meter walking time and TUGT were the least after NJF (F > 18.941, P < 0.01). Conclusion:NJF ankle joint model can improve the dynamic and static balance ability of human body more effectively than isotonic contraction training alone.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of Kinesio Taping and kneepad on position sense of knee in healthy young adult male. Methods:In September, 2019, 20 healthy adult male aged 21 to 27 were selected. They were measured the joint angle error in angle reproduction test, and tested with functional reach test (FRT), 10-meter walking time (10MWT), and Timed "Up and Go" Test (TUGT) under follow four conditions: non-intervention, simple Kinesio Taping, simple kneepad, and both Kinesio Taping and kneepad. Results:For the angle error, it was the most under non-intervention, and the least under simple Kinesio Taping (F = 61.260, P < 0.001). For FRT, there was no significant difference among all the conditions (F = 1.793, P = 0.988). For 10MWT, it was the least under simple Kinesio Taping (F = 23.817, P < 0.001). For TUGT, it was the most under non-intervention (F = 19.865, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Kinesio Taping can improve position sense of knee, as well as walking, without further benefit along with kneepad.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the feasibility of bilingual teaching in the course of Physical Therapy, and find out the more suitable program of the bilingual teaching for undergraduate students of rehabilitation therapy. Methods Students of rehabilitation therapy from Capital Medical University School of Rehabilitation Medicine were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group received bilingual education during the teaching session, while the students in control group received traditional teaching method. Their scores of the quiz were compared, and the students were investigated with the questionnaire. Results The scores of English quiz were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference of the total score between two groups. The results of questionnaire showed that the bilingual education was accepted by most students. Conclusion Bilingual teaching program could facilitate the improvement of the student's ability, and it will be more suitable for undergraduate students of rehabilitation therapy.
