RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effects of respiratory training on pulmonary and motor function for patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods:From January, 2018 to November, 2019, 60 inpatients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease from the Second Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai were randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and experimental group (n = 30). All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation, while the experimental group accepted respiratory training with Power Breathe in addition. They were measured the pulmonary function, and assessed with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part II and III, and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and four weeks after treatment. Results:The scores of UPDRS II and III, and MBI improved in both groups after treatment (|t| > 2.550, P < 0.05), while the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% vital capacity (MEF50) increased in the experimental group (|t| > 2.838, P < 0.01), but did not in the control group (|t| < 1.058, P > 0.05). FVC, FEV1, MEF50, MBI score and UPDRS II score improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.191, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Respiratory training can improve pulmonary function for patients with Parkinson's disease, to further improve their activities of daily living. No synergistic effect is found on motor function.
RESUMO
The mirror neuron system has been widely used in various aspects of neurological rehabilitation. For aphasia, mirror neuron system is mainly used to improve the extraction and expression of words, and repeat of words and phrases. There are a lot of doubts about the therapeutic effect of mirror neuron system, yet.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Kinesio Taping guided therapy on facial paralysis and salivation after stroke. Methods:From January to July, 2018, 30 patients with central facial palsy were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and observation group (n = 15). The control group accepted ice stimulation, facial massage, facial muscle function training and low-frequency electrical stimulation, while the observation group accepted Kinesio Taping of "Y" or "O" shape alternately during massage and facial muscle function training, and kept taping for a day if possible. They were assessed with Teacher Drooling Scale (TDS), House-Brackmann (H-B) Scale and Facial Nerve Function Scale before and four weeks after treatment. Results:Both groups improved in the scores of TDS, H-B Scale and Facial Nerve Function Scale after treatment (Z > 2.460, t > 4.971, P < 0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (Z > 2.817, t > 4.964, P < 0.01). Conclusion:Kinesio Taping guided therapy is effective on central facial paralysis and salivation after stroke.
