Effects of Baduanjin and Balancer Exercise on Motor and Non-motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin and balancer exercise on motor and non-motor symptoms for patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods:From May, 2017 to September, 2018, 31 patients with PD were collected from the inpatients, outpatients and outside of our hospitals. The patients accepted Baduanjin and balancer exercise successively, three weeks for each exercise, and were assessed with Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part I, II, III and IV, and Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) before and after each exercise. Results:Four cases dropped out during Baduanjin exercise. The total score, the scores of part I, II and III of MDS-UPDRS, and NMSS score (t > 3.274, P < 0.01) decreased significantly after Baduanjin exercise. Other three cases dropped out during balancer exercise. The total score and the score of part III of MDS-UPDRS decreased significantly after balancer exercise (t > 2.763, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Baduanjin exercise can improve the motor and non-motor symptoms of mild to moderate PD, but not significant for motor complications; while balancer exercise can improve the motor symptoms, but not significant for non-motor symptoms and motor complications.

Measure Static Balance Function with Active Balancer EAB-100:Reference Values and Clinical Significance / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective To establish the reference values of static balance function with Active Balancer EAB-100 in healthy Chinese adults, and to screen the valuable indices for clinical work. Methods There were 227 healthy adults measured with Active Balancer EAB-100 when standing still with eyes opened and closed. All the data recorded were analyzed with SPSS 19.0, and the weight of every pa-rameter was obtained with principal component analysis. Results The reference values of parameters for static balance function were estab-lished in healthy Chinese adults. The loadings of whole path length, rectangle area, circumference area, effective value area, deflection cen-ter displacement X, deflection center displacement Y, rectangle area of Romberg rate and circumference area of Romberg rate were more than average. Conclusion It is need to focus on whole path length, circumference area, deflection center displacement X, deflection center displacement Y, and effective value area and circumference area of Romberg rate much more in clinical practice for the static balance assess-ment.

Effect of Visual Compensation on Balance Function of Post-stoke Hemiplegic Patients / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo test the effect of visual compensation on balance function of post-stoke hemiplegic patients with the static balancer.Methods50 hemiplegic patients and 40 healthy volunteers were tested with the static balancer. Four sets of data, including load difference of the lower limbs, standard deviation of the balance center, deviation percentage, and average rebalance time under modes with eyes open or closed were collected and analyzed.ResultsThere was a significant difference in load difference of the lower limbs of hemiplegic patients between eyes open and closed modes (P<0.05), and standard deviation of the balance center, deviation percentage, and average rebalance time had more significant difference (P<0.001). There were also significant differences between data of hemiplegic patients and healthy volunteers (P<0.001).ConclusionThe effect of visual compensation on balance function of post-stoke hemiplegic patients can tested by the static balancer objectively and quantificationally.
