ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of rehabilitation training at different stages on patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury after conservative treatment. Methods:From October 2017 to October 2018, 58 patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury were divided into six-week rehabilitation group (n = 29) and twelve-week rehabilitation group (n = 29), according to the time they began rehabilitation after injury. Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot function scoring system were used to evaluate ankle function before rehabilitation, and two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after rehabilitation, respectively. Results:Two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after rehabilitation, the scores of VAS and AOFAS improved in both groups (|t| > 4.137, P < 0.001), the scores of VAS were lower (|t| > 3.110, P < 0.01), and the scores of AOFAS were higher (|t| > 3.016, P < 0.01) in the six-week rehabilitation group than in the twelve-week rehabilitation group. Conclusion:It is suggested to begin rehabilitation within six weeks for patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury after conservative treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation on motor function recovery in stroke patients. Methods:From February, 2018 to February, 2019, 100 stroke patients in convalescence stage were enrolled in this study. They were divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50). The control group received routine rehabilitation, while the observation group received cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SAS) and pulmonary function test before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the scores of FMA increased in both groups (t > 2.459, P < 0.05), which were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t = 2.678, P = 0.005); the scores of SAS and SDS decreased in both groups (t > 2.009, P < 0.05), which were lower in the observation group than in the control group (t > 3.261, P < 0.01); most of the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC increased in both groups (t > 2.249, P < 0.05), which were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.147, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation could further promote the recovery of motor function of stroke patients, and improve the emotion and pulmonary function.
