RESUMO
@#Objective To observe the effects of dual-task motor training on motor and balance function for stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to June, 2017, 30 patients with stroke were assigned randomly into control group (n = 15) and treatment group (n = 15). Both groups accepted routine physical therapy, the control group accepted anti-gravity treadmill training, while the treatment group accepted dual-task training with anti-gravity treadmill, for four weeks. They were measured with balance training and evaluation system, and assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-lower extremity (FMA-L), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), before and after treatment. Results The range of swaying on X axial (Rx) and Y axial (Ry), as well as rectangle area (RecArea) decreased after treatment in the treatment group (t > 4.719, P < 0.001), while RecArea decreased in the control group (t = 5.069, P < 0.001). Ry and RecArea were less in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.288, P < 0.05). The scores of FMA-L, BBS and MBI improved after treatment in both groups (t > 7.316, P < 0.001), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.322, P < 0.05). Conclusion The dual-task training via anti-gravity treadmill may improve motor and balance function in stroke patients, and promote the activities of daily living.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of exercise cupping plus acupuncture in treating acute lumbar sprain. Method Sixty-four patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 32 cases each. The treatment group received exercise cupping plus acupuncture and the control group, acupuncture alone. After one treatment and one course of treatment, the therapeutic effects were evaluated using the VAS for pain, lumbar joint activity and the clinical effect assessment. Result After one course of treatment, the total efficacy rate was 96.9% in the treatment group, which was significantly higher than 84.4% in the control group (P<0.05). After one treatment and one course of treatment, the VAS score was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05) and lumbar joint activity improved significantly in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exercise cupping plus acupuncture is more effective than acupuncture alone in treating acute lumbar sprain.
