ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and to provide reference for patients′ rehabilitation exercise.Methods:The quasi-experimental study method was used to select 78 patients with ankylosing spondylitis admitted to Rheumatology and Immunology Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from February 2021 to February 2022 as the research objects. The 39 patients admitted from February 2021 to August 2021 as the control group, and 39 patients admitted from September 2021 to February 2022 as the experimental group. The control group adopted conventional rehabilitation exercise program, and the experimental group adopted multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise program. The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index, Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index, inflammatory factors after 6 months of intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index in the experimental group after 6 months of intervention was (2.35 ± 0.81) points, and that in the control group was (3.47 ± 1.04) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t = 4.02, P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index in the two groups were analyzed by repeated measurement variance. The differences of time effect, inter group effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( Fgroup = 11.27, Ftime = 62.05, Finteraction = 5.47, all P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index in the experimental group after 6 months of intervention was (2.11 ± 0.32) points, and that in the control group was (3.07 ± 0.58) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t = 4.03, P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index in the two groups were analyzed by repeated measurement variance. The differences in time effect, inter group effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( Fgroup = 21.44, Ftime = 42.25, Finteraction = 16.67, all P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, transforming growth factor β, tumor necrosis factor-α were (43.15 ± 2.21) mg/L, (3.28 ± 0.85) mg/L, (41.67 ± 9.04) ng/L, (176.63 ± 20.15) ng/L respectively in the experimental group, and (50.12 ± 1.67) mg/L, (5.27 ± 0.68) mg/L, (48.65 ± 8.96) ng/L, (194.56 ± 19.45) ng/L respectively in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the content of inflammatory factors between the two groups ( t values were 2.05-4.45, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise can improve the physiological function of ankylosing spondylitis patients′spine, reduce the disease activity of patients, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.
