推拿功法练习对膝骨关节炎患者股四头肌肌力的影响(英文)

目的:探讨推拿功法《易筋经》练习对膝骨关节炎(Knee Osteoarthritis,KOA)患者股四头肌肌力的影响,为推拿功法《易筋经》干预KOA提供科学依据。方法:将90例KOA患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组45例。观察组进行《易筋经》锻炼,每日1次;对照组不予任何治疗。观察8星期后进行疗效评定。结果:观察8星期后,观察组患者股四头肌等速肌力较治疗前有显著改善,对照组患者股四头肌等速肌力无明显变化。结论:推拿功法《易筋经》练习对改善KOA患者股四头肌肌力具有一定作用,是干预该疾病的有效运动方法。

Effect of Tuina exercise on quadriceps femoris muscle strength of patients with knee osteoarthritis

Objective

To investigate the effect of Yi Jin Jing exercise on quadriceps femoris muscle strength of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and thus provide scientific basis for Yi Jin Jing intervention in KOA.

Methods

A total of 90 cases with KOA were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 45 in each group. Those in the observation group conducted Yi Jin Jing exercise once a day; whereas those in the control group received no therapies at all. The therapeutic effects have been assessed after 8 weeks of observation.

Results

After 8 weeks of observation, the isokinetic muscle strength of quadriceps femoris muscle in the treatment group was substantially improved, whereas there were no distinct changes of isokinetic muscle strength of quadriceps femoris muscle in the control group.

Conclusion

Yi Jin Jing exercise can definitely improve the quadriceps femoris muscle strength of patients with KOA. It is therefore an effective intervention method for KOA.
