Effect of Sling Exercise Therapy on Lumbar Function of Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain by CHEN Zhenhua, ZHENG Qikai, CHEN Shuijin, LIN Zhigang

“…Before and after treatment, the spinal testing and evaluation system was used to measure the maximum strength of psoas muscle flexion and extension; the root mean square (RMS) value of surface electromyography was used to evaluate the muscle activation level of transverse abdominis and multifidus from sitting to standing positions; Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to assess the lumbar function.ResultsCompared with that before treatment, the maximum strength of psoas muscle flexion and extension, the RMS value of the transversus abdominis and multifidus from sitting to standing in the three groups increased significantly after treatment, the RMDQ and ODI scores decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). Compared with the conventional Tuina group, the maximum strength of psoas muscle flexion and extension, the RMS value of the transversus abdominis and multifidus from sitting to standing of the exercise training group and the suspension exercise group increased significantly after treatment, the RMDQ and ODI scores decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”

Effect of Liuzijue Training on Balance and Respiratory Function of Stroke Patients in Recovery Stage by WANG Chen, ZHANG Peizhen, YANG Faming, YU Junwu

“…Before and four weeks after treatment, Berg balance score (BBS) was used to evaluate the balance function; Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was used to evaluate the motor functions; the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to evaluate the activities of daily living; maximum phonation time (MPT) was used to evaluate the respiratory efficiency; color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure diaphragm thickness, mobility and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) and to evaluate diaphragm function.ResultsCompared with that before treatment, the BBS score, FMA score, MBI score, MPT, diaphragm thickness and mobility at quiet inspiration and at the end of maximum exhalation were significantly increased of both groups after treatment, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). Compared with the control group, the BBS score, MBI score, MPT, diaphragm mobility at quiet inspiration and at the end of maximum exhalation of the observation group after treatment were all significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in FMA score, DTF, diaphragm thickness at quiet inspiration and at the end of maximum exhalation (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05).ConclusionLiuzijue training can effectively improve the balance function, activities of daily living, and respiratory function, and is recommended for clinical application.…”
