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.…”
