Résumé
Objective:To investigate the balance in young adult with scoliosis. Methods:From June to December, 2020, 30 college students with scoliosis in the outpatient department of Rehabilitation Department of Kunming Medical University Hospital were as the patients, and 30 normal peers were as the controls. They were measured with Pro-Kin balance test system to assess the static stability of both feet standing with eyes opened and closed, and the static and dynamic limit of stability (LOS) of both feet standing. Results:The moving distance of center of pressure (COP) on the Y-axis was longer in the patients than in the controls with both eye-opened and eye-closed (t > 2.022, P < 0.05). The static and dynamic LOS was less in the patients than in the controls (t > 3.365, P < 0.01). For static LOS, it was less in all the directions except left-forward and backward (t > 2.410, P < 0.05); for dynamic LOS, it was less in the directions of forward, right, left and left-forward (t > 2.446, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Both static and dynamic balance is deficient for yong adults with scoliosis, which may result in risk of fall.

Objective:To observe the long-term behavioral changes in movement, emotion, and learning and memory of newborn mice with hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods:A total of 50 ten-day old newborn C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group (n = 20) and HIBD group (n = 30). The left common carotid artery was ligated in HIBD group and stayed in anoxic chamber for 45 minutes. All the mice were tested with suspension test, light/dark box test, elevated plus maze test, object recognition test and Y maze test two months after surgery. Results:There were 19 mice modeled successfully. Compared with the control group, the suspension test scores decreased (t = 2.785, P < 0.05); the time of latency of light/dark box test increased (t = -4.320, P < 0.001), the time and frequency in light box decreased (t > 2.603, P < 0.05); the time in open arm decreased (t = 4.576, P < 0.001) and the time in close arm increased (t = -3.287, P < 0.01) for the elevated plus maze test; the time nearing old object increased (t = -2.116, P < 0.05) and object recognition index decreased (t = 2.823, P < 0.05) for object recognition test; the time in the initial and novel arms decreased (t > 2.191, P < 0.05) for Y maze test in HIBD group. Conclusion:The long-term disorders of behavior may include disabilities of motor, learning and memory, and disorder of anxiety, in newborn mice with HIBD.

Objective:To compare the effects of spinal orthosis and exercise training on psychological status and quality of life in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods:From July, 2017 to Febrary, 2018, 55 AIS patients aged ten to 16 years were enrolled. According to the individual's choice, they were divided into exercise group (n = 25) and orthosis group (n = 30). The Cobb's angle, apex vertebral rotation (AVR), trunk shift (TS) and apex vertebral translocation (AVT) were measured before, three months and six months after intervention. They were also evaluated with Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire-22 (SRS-22) before and six months after intervention. Results:Six months after intervention, the scores of function/activity level, pain, self-image/appearance and treatment satisfaction were better in the exercise group than in the orthosis group (t > 2.137, P < 0.05). Three months and six months after intervention, the Cobb's angles reduced significantly in both groups (t > 4.461, P < 0.001); six months after intervention, the Cobb's angle was smaller in the orthosis group than in the exercise group (t = 2.548, P < 0.05). Three months and six months after intervention, TS, AVR and AVT improved in both groups (t > 2.338, P < 0.05); six months after intervention, they were better in the orthosis group than in the exercise group (t > 2.259, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Single exercise training is effective on AIS patients with Cobb's angle between 25° to 40°, especially for psychological status and the quality of life, however, it isn't as better as orthotics treatment for deformity correction.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of task-oriented bilateral arm training on upper limb function in children with spastic hemiplegia. Methods 27 children within 4-6 years with spastic hemiplegic were randomly divided into control group (n=13) and experiment group (n=14). The children in control group received routine occupational therapy. The bilateral arm task-oriented training was added for children in experiment group. The Peabody development motor scale-2 (PDMS-2) and Upper Limb Physician's Rating Scale (ULPRS) were used to assess the upper limb function before and after 10 weeks intervention. Results After treatment, the scores of grasping function and visual-motor integration in PDMS-2 were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the scores of experimental group werehigher than that of control group (P <0.05), and the difference of the added value between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).The ULPRS scores of both groups increased after treatment (P<0.05), scores between the treatment group and the control group were not statistically significant (P>0.05), and the difference of the added value between two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion The task-oriented bilateral arm training can promote recovery for upper limb and hand function in children with spastic hemiplegia compared with routine occupational therapy.
