ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Restoration of tendon integrity and tenacity, and maintenance of ankle joint flexibility, play a crucial role on the rupture of Achiles tendon. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the muscular force using isokinetic muscle strength test after the ruptured Achiles tendon is repaired, and to assess the repairing effect. METHODS: Muscle power including peak torque, peak torque/body weight, total work, average peak torque, set total work of flexor and extensor of 17 patients with Achiles tendon rupture were assessed after reconstruction using Biodex system 4 at 60 (°)/s and 120(°)/s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The peak torque, peak torque/body weight, total work, average peak torque, set total work of flexor muscle group at the injured side were significantly decreased compared with uninjured side at 60 (°)/s and 120 (°)/s (P < 0.05). Isokinetic muscle strength test can reflect the muscular force after the ruptured Achiles tendon is repaired, and evaluate the repairing effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct a comprehensive nursing content and experiment evaluation index weights for the nursing profession to provide objective and comprehensive evaluation criteria for nursing comprehensive experimental evaluation. Methods Literature search method and the Delphi method(Delphi)were used to explore indicators of evaluation and appraisal the analytic hierarchy process was adopted to calculate index weights and test its logical consistency. Results 28 experts were selected from 10 hospitals of five provinces such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, etc. Three round screening investigations' effective return-ratio Wag 93.9%、96.8%and 100.0%respectively.The authoritative coefficient was above 0.70.3 first-level tar-gets were established,14 second-level targets and the corresponding target connotations, all levels of target weight satisfied the logical uniformity request Conclusions The Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process jointly determine the nursing comprehensive experimental evaluation index system to ensure the scien-title and reliable characteristic of the evaluation index system. It is able to comprehensively measure the overall quality and ability of students for the nursing profession and provide the basis for a comprehensive experimental evaluation.
