ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of finger exercises combined with local physiotherapy on recovery of hand function in postoperative with flexor tendon injury. Methods The data of 286 cases of flexor tendon injury who were received by emergency trauma patients during the period from January 2014 to January 2016.According to the order of admission for single finger exercise function exercise set as the experience group, and routine functional exercise set as control group, to observe the hand function recovery, the satisfaction of patients and the quality of life of patients were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistical differences of the effective rate of treatment and the daily living ability score between the experimental group and control group in one month after the operation(P>0.05).The effective rate of treatment and the daily living ability score were 95.10% (136/143),(15.32±1.98)points in six months after the operation in the experience group,and 81.12%(116/143),(22.62±1.42)points in the control group,and there were statistical differences between two groups (x2/t=13.35,-14.44,P<0.05).The patient satisfaction score were(88.46±2.20),(96.32±2.64)points in one and six months after the operation in the experimental group and(80.97±3.69),(87.54±2.39)points in the control group(P<0.05),and there were statistical differences between the experimental group and control group (t=20.77, 21.35, all P<0.05). Conclusions The finger exercises combined with local physiotherapy could not only improve the hand function of patients,but also improve the daily life ability of patients,and improve patient satisfaction,it is worth popularizing in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of modified finger exercise on limb pain and numbness in patients after transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods From March to June 2017,patients underwent PCI in a tertiary hospital in Beijing were enrolled,and divided into the experimental group(37 cases) and the con-trol group (38 cases). The experimental group was treated with modified finger exercise together with routine care, while the control group was provided with routine care. Palm circumference,numbness and pain of the limb were observed and analyzed. Results The pain of the experimental group was lower than the control group(Z=-3.935,-2.986,-2.854,P<0.05) at 0.5 h,2 h and 4h after PCI. The numbness of the experimental group was lower than the control group (Z=-2.756,-4.876,-3.310,P<0.05) at 2h and 4h after PCI and 1h after removal of the hemostasis equipment. However,there was no significant difference in swelling between two groups (F=1.627,P>0.05). Conclusion The modified finger exercise can ease limb discomfort and reduce pain and numbness of the affected limb after PCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of finger exercises on recovery of hand function and daily life ability in postoperative patients with bone trauma. Methods Ninety-eight phalanx trauma patients were equally divided into the treatment and control groups, those with odd admission number in the treatment group and those with even numbers in the control group: the control group was given postoperative routine care and the treatment group took finger exercises besides the routine nursing. The two groups were compared in terms of the treatment effect and the ability of daily life . Result The effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group and the ability of daily life was significantly better than that of the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The postoperative finger exercises of the patients with bone trauma can increase the recovery of hand function , which is beneficial for the improvement their daily life ability.
