截瘫患者的骨质疏松及康复训练

Osteoporosis in patients with traumatic paraplegia and benifits of rehabilitation exercise

对唐山地震后12年中的截瘫患者骨质疏松情况进行调查分析,测定260例截瘫患者的上肢及下肢骨密度情况(其中完全截瘫205例)。结果提示:截瘫患者不仅载瘫平面以下存在严重骨质疏松,而且截瘫平面以上也存在骨质疏松,但下肢骨质疏松较上肢更为严重。站立、负重和应用支具行走等康复训练有助于预防或减轻截瘫患者的骨质疏松。

Osteoporosis developed 12 years after the onset of traumatic parapligia was studied 260 cases were involved in this investigation of bone mineral density, of them 205 cases were complete paraplegics. The investigation showed that the osteoporosis existed not only in the skeleton of ths paralyzed areas but also in the upper extremities. Osteoporosis in the lower extremities were much more severe than that in the upper extremities. Rehabilitation exercise including weight bearing, standing and ambulating with orthesis might enhance bone formation and prevent osteoporosis in the paraplegics.
