ABSTRACT
@# Objective To investigate the effect of somatic sense interactive game Kinect on executive dysfunction for patients with stroke. Methods 78 inpatients with first stroke were divided into intervention group and control group, and 35 cases in the intervention group and 36 cases in the control group finished the study. The control group accepted conventional rehabilitation, and the intervention group played the game of Sailing for Gold Coins and Golf of the Kinect in addition. They were assessed with Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) before and 4 weeks after intervention. Results The difference of scores of all the sub-scales and total of BADS before and after intervention were more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The somatic sense interactive game Kinect can be used to improve the executive function of the patients with stroke.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application value of preoperative methylene blue staining in locating for the operation of intraspi-nal tumors. Methods The clinical data of patients with intraspinal tumors from September 2010 to September 2012 in our hospital were ret-rospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into tag group and control group according to whether stained by methylene blue or not. The operation time( min) ,intraoperative hemorrhage,the rate of total resection of tumor,spinal instability rate,tumor recurrence rate,and reopera-tion rate of two groups were compared. Results The operation time of tag group was significantly shorter than that of the control group. The amount of intraoperative bleeding was significantly less than that of in control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). The total resection rate of tumor was significantly higher than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). The spinal instability rate,tumor recurrence rate and operation rate of patients within 1 year in two groups were not significant. Conclusion The methylene blue method is simple and convenient,and provides favorable conditions for the operation,which reduces the operation time and intraoperative hemorrhage,increases the rate of complete tumor resection. There was no difference in recurrence rate,operation rate and the stability of the spine within 1 year compared to traditional method.
ABSTRACT
Executive dysfunction is one of the cognitive impairment in patients with stroke. This paper reviewed the assessment tools and rehabilitation approaches for post-stroke executive dysfunction, and the interactive game such as Xbox Kinect may be prospective reha-bilitation for executive dysfunction.
