Effect of Visual Tracking Training combined with Six-character Formula on Motor Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Parkinson's Disease by Wanhong WANG, Hongyan BI, Zhengang QIU, Xihua LIU, He ZHUANG, Shijie HAO, Xin ZHANG, Wenyu SUN

“…Objective:To observe the effects of visual tracking training combined with six-character formula on motor function and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease.Methods:A total of 42 patients with Parkinson's disease treated in the affiliated hospital of Shandong university of traditional Chinese medicine were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to random number table method, with 21 cases in each group.The control group received routine rehabilitation training, mainly including core training, balance training, coordination training, gait training, and daily life ability training, twice a day, 45 minutes each time, five days a week, continuous training for six weeks.The observation group received visual tracking training combined with six-character formula training on the basis of the control group.Visual tracking training included thumb tracking, Whack-a-mole game, posture control, training eyeball moving as figure "8", each training for 20 minutes, once a day.Six-character formula of pronunciation training with blowing, shout, hippies, oh, boo, si breathing exercises, and cooperated with body guidance training, each training for 25 minutes, once a day.The above training for five days per week, continuous training for six weeks.The third part of the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale(UPDRS-Ⅲ)and the time up and go test(TUGT)were used to assess the patient's motor function; the balance stability limit test(AP-SD, ML-SD)was used to evaluate the patient's balance function;the Parkinson's questionnaire-39(PDQ-39)was used to evaluate the patient's quality of life.Results:Before treatment, there were no statistically significant difference in UPDRSⅢscore, AP-SD and ML-SD, TUGT time and PDQ-39 score between two groups(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); Compared with before treatment, the UPDRSⅢ, AP-SD, ML-SD, TUGT and PDQ-39 scores of the two groups after treatment decreased significantly, the differences were statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); Compared with the control group, UPDRSⅢ, AP-SD, ML-SD, TUGT and PDQ-39 scores of the observation group after treatment were lower, the differences were statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:Visual tracking training combined with six-character formula can effectively improve the motor function and quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease.…”
