RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of body axis rotation combined with rhythmic breathing training on lower limb motor function and balance ability of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods:From June, 2018 to June, 2020, 50 patients with hemiplegia after stroke from Physical Therapy Department of Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were divided into control group (n = 25) and experimental group (n = 25). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, while the experimental group accepted body axis rotation and rhythmic breathing training for core muscle strength in addition, for six weeks. The total training time was the same for both groups. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed 'Up & Go' Test (TUGT) and 10-meter walking speed (10MWS) before and after treatment. Results:The scores of FMA-LE and BBS, and 10MWS increased in both groups after treatment (|Z| > 4.375, P < 0.001), and increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (|Z| > 3.415, P < 0.01); while the time of TUGT decreased in both groups (Z = -4.372, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.804, P < 0.01). Conclusion:Body axis rotation combined with rhythmic breathing training for core muscle strength may promote the recovery of lower limb motor function and balance ability for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
RESUMO
Objective@#To study the effect of rhythmic breathing on pain in burn patients.@*Methods@#A total of 100 patients with burns in Tangshan Workers Hospital were randomly selected from August 2015 to August 2017. They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group by random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. Baseline variables were recorded for each patient, and pain scores for each patient was scored on the fourth day after admission by the pain scale questionnaire score. At the same time, from the fourth day of admission, each group began to give sterile dressings to treat burns. The control group only used a conventional care mode that included dressing coverage therapy. The experimental group added rhythmic breathing on this basis. The pain scores were scored on the 5th day, the 6th day, and the 7th day after admission. The pain scores of the 3 days in each group were compared, and the difference in pain scores between the 2 groups was compared.@*Results@#In the experimental group, the pain scores on the 5th day, the 6th day and the 7th day of admission were (1.53±1.90), (1.68±1.37), and (1.97±1.18) points, respectively, and the control group was (3.64±0.85). (3.74±0.78), (3.85±0.81) points, there were significant differences in pain scores between the two groups (U=5.76, 8.65, 7.79, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in pain scores on the 5th day, 6th day and 7th day in the observation group (P>0.05). There was statistically significant difference in pain scores between the control group on day 5, day 6, and day 7 (χ2=6.83, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#Rhythmic breathing relieves pain after burns.
