针灸对腰段以上脊髓损伤患者躯干控制能力及平衡功能的影响

Effect of Acupuncture on Trunk Control Ability and Balance Function in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury above Lumbar

目的探讨针灸对脊髓损伤患者躯干控制能力及平衡功能的影响。方法将40例脊髓损伤患者按随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组,每组20例。对照组采用四肢联动训练方法,观察组采用四肢联动训练方法配合针灸治疗。治疗前和治疗8周后分别采用Fugl-Meyer评定法与Flex Comp Infiniti表面肌电系统评定患者的平衡功能和躯干肌力。结果治疗后两组的平衡功能和躯干控制能力均明显改善(P<0.01),观察组效果优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论四肢联动训练配合针灸可更好改善脊髓损伤患者的平衡功能和躯干的控制。

Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture on trunk control ability and balance function in patients with spinal cord inju- ry above lumbar. Methods 40 patients with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 20 cas- es in each group, The control group received limb joint training method, the observation group received acupuncture in addition. Fugl-Mey- er Assessment and Flex Comp Infiniti EMG system were used to evaluate the balance function and trunk muscle strength before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, the balance function and tnmk control ability improved in both groups （P〈0.01）, and were better in the observation group than in the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Limb linkage combined with acupuncture can further im- prove the balance function and trunk control ability in patients with spinal cord iniurv above lumbar,
