ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of aerobic training and aerobic combined with resistance training on motor function, like muscle strength,cardiopulmonary endurance and so on,in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). Methods From July,2015 to August,2016,60 patients with CKD were randomly divided into control group(A,n=20), aerobic training group(B,n=20)and aerobic combined with resistance training group(C,n=20).Group B per-formed cycle ergometer at 50% peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak)for 30 minutes a time,and group C performed one section of Thera-Band resistance training based on group B, three times a week for twelve weeks.All patients were evaluated with one repetition maximum-upper limb (1 RM-U), one repetition maximum-lower limb (1 RM-L),Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test(CPET),Arm Curl Test(ACT),30-second Chair Stand(CS-30),Six-Min-ute Walk Test(6MWT),and estimated gomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and serum creatinine(sCr)were calculat-ed and recorded before and after training. Results There was no significant difference in all indexes among three groups before training(F<1.841,P>0.05).After training,all indexes improved in groups B and C(t>2.162,P<0.05),and were better in groups B and C than in group A(t>2.132, P<0.05).After training, 1 RM-U, 1 RM-L, VO2peak,ACT, CS-30 and 6MWT were better in group C than in group B(t>2.081,P<0.05). Conclusion Aerobic training could improve the motor function of patients with CKD,and it is more effective combined with resistance training.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of lower limb muscle strength on balance.Methods One hun- dred eighty elderly subjects were divided into six groups by sex and muscle strength level.There were low,moderate and high muscle strength groups for males and females.The static standing balance of these subjects was performed u- sing a PH-A computerized stabilometer with their eyes open and closed.Sway index,covered area,rectangle-area, length and length/area of the destabilizing locui were assessed.Results When standing with the eyes either open or closed,sagittal and lateral sway index,covered area and rectangle-area were significantly larger in the lowest mus- cle strength groups when compared with the others.Length/area was also significantly less.There was no significant difference between the moderate muscle strength group and the highest strength group.Conclusion Lower limb strength affects balance.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of rehabilitation training on the sensory dysfunction after stroke.Methods Fifty three stroke patients with sensory dysfunction were randomly divided into 2 groups:a con- trol group and a treatment group.The control group composed of 25 patients was intervened with conventional treat- ment,while the treatment group composed of 28 patients with sensory training in addition to the conventional treat- ment.The effect of rehabilitation training of the two groups was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and afer treatment.Results The FMA scores of patients of both groups increased significantly after 2 months of treatment (P
