Impact of stage-specific limb function exercises guided by a selfmanagement education model on arteriovenous fistula maturation status

BACKGROUND The exercise of limb function is the most economical and safe method to promote the maturation of arteriovenous fistula(AVF).However,due to the lack of a uni-fied exercise standard in China,many patients have insufficient awareness of the importance of AVF,leading to poor effectiveness of limb function exercise.The self-management education model can effectively promote patients to take pro-active health-related actions.This study focuses on the characteristics of patients during the peri-AVF period and conducts a phased limb function exercise under the guidance of the self-management education model to observe changes in fac-tors such as the maturity of AVF.AIM To assess the impact of stage-specific limb function exercises,directed by a self-management education model,on the maturation status of AVFs.METHODS This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 74 patients with forearm AVFs from the Nephrology Department of a tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province,China.Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method.The observation group underwent tailored stage-specific limb func-tion exercises,informed by a self-management education model which took into account the unique features of AVF at various stages,in conjunction with routine care.Conversely,the control group was given standard limb function exercises along with routine care.The assessment involves the maturity of AVFs post-intervention,post-operative complications,and the self-management level of the fistula in both groups patients.Analyses were conducted using SPSS version 23.0.Count data were represented by frequency and percentage and subjected to chi-square test comparisons.Measurement data adhering to a normal distribution were presented as mean±SD.The independent samples t-test was utilized for inter-group comparisons,while the paired t-test was used for intra-group comparisons.For measurement data not fitting a normal distribution,the median and interquartile range were presented and analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.RESULTS At the 8-wk postoperative mark,the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores in AVF symptom recognition,symptom prevention,and self-management compared to the control group(P<0.05).However,the variance in symptom management scores between the observation and control groups lacked statistical signi-ficance(P>0.05).At 4 wk after the operation,the observation group displayed a superior vessel diameter and depth from the skin of the drainage vessels in comparison to the control group(P<0.05).While the observation group did manifest elevated blood flow rates in the drainage vessels relative to the control group,this distinction was not statistically significant(P>0.05).By the 8-wk postoperative interval,the observation group outperformed the control group with notable enhancements in blood flow rates,vessel diameter,and depth from the skin of drainage vessels(P<0.01).Seven days following the procedure,the observation group manifested significantly diminished limb swelling and an overall reduced complication rate in contrast to the control group(P<0.05).The evaluation of infection,thrombosis,embolism,arterial aneurysm stenosis,and incision bleeding showed no notable differences between the two groups(P>0.05).By the 4-wk postoperative juncture,complications between the observation and control groups were statistically indistinguishable(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Stage-specific limb function exercises,under the guidance of a self-management education model,amplify the capacity of AVF patients to discern and prevent symptoms.Additionally,they expedite AVF maturation and miti-gate postoperative limb edema,underscoring their efficacy as a valuable method for the care and upkeep of AVF in hemodialysis patients.

Neglecting the use of the affected limb in stroke patients can result in learned non-use.Modified constraint-induced movement therapy(mCIMT)is a form of rehabilitation therapy that limits the less paretic side,and through repeated and concentrated training improve the upper limb function of the paretic side.The aim of this paper is to develop a critical systematic review on the research evidence evaluating the effectiveness of applying mCIMT in the recovery of upper limb function in stroke patients.The outcome of this evaluation support that mCIMT significantly improves the upper limb function of stroke patients.Moreover,group mCIMT modality and TR(trunk restraint)+mCIMT modality provide greater benefits than mCIMT alone.

Application of cross-migration theory in limb rehabilitation of stroke patients with hemiplegia

BACKGROUND Stroke is a common cause of neurological dysfunction,often resulting in hemiplegia.Thus,rehabilitation of limb function in stroke patients is an important step towards accelerating recovery and improving quality of life.AIM To investigate whether unilateral strength training in hemiplegic stroke patients could lead to cross-migration,an increase in bilateral muscle strength,and an improvement in lower limb motor function.METHODS We randomly divided 120 patients with hemiplegic stroke into two groups:Eexperimental and control groups,with 60 patients in each group.Both groups received routine rehabilitation treatment,while the experimental group additional-ly received ankle dorsiflexion resistance training on the healthy side for 6 wk.We measured the maximum voluntary contract(MVC),changes in surface electromyography(EMG),and the lower limb motor function using the simplified Fugl Meyer Motor Function Assessment Scale(FMA)before and within 1 wk after training.RESULTS The FMA score in the experimental group improved significantly compared to both their pre-training score and the control group's post-training score(P<0.05).The integrated EMG of the anterior tibialis muscle and pulmonary intestine muscle in the experimental group were significantly different after training than before(P<0.05).Furthermore,the MVC of the anterior tibialis muscle on both the healthy and affected sides and the MVC of the pulmonary intestine muscle on both sides showed significant improvement compared with before training and the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that ankle dorsiflexion resistance training on the healthy side in hemiplegic stroke patients can increase strength in the opposite tibialis anterior muscle and antagonist's muscle,indicating a cross-migration phenomenon of strength training.Furthermore,this type of training can also improve lower limb motor function,providing a new exercise method for improving early ankle dorsiflexion dysfunction.

Effects of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the recovery of upper limb motor dysfunction in patients with subacute cerebral infarction

Studies have confirmed that low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can decrease the activity of cortical neurons, and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can increase the excitability of cortical neurons. However, there are few studies concerning the use of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the recovery of upper-limb motor function after cerebral infarction. We hypothesized that different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with cerebral infarction would produce different effects on the recovery of upper-limb motor function. This study enrolled 127 patients with upper-limb dysfunction during the subacute phase of cerebral infarction. These patients were randomly assigned to three groups. The low-frequency group comprised 42 patients who were treated with 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the contralateral hemisphere primary motor cortex （M1）. The high-frequency group comprised 43 patients who were treated with 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on ipsilateral M1. Finally, the sham group comprised 42 patients who were treated with 10 Hz of false stimulation on ipsilateral M1. A total of 135 seconds of stimulation was applied in the sham group and high-frequency group. At 2 weeks after treatment, cortical latency of motor-evoked potentials and central motor conduction time were significantly lower compared with before treatment. Moreover, motor function scores were significantly improved. The above indices for the low- and high-frequency groups were significantly different compared with the sham group. However, there was no significant difference between the low- and high-frequency groups. The results show that low- and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can similarly improve upper-limb motor function in patients with cerebral infarction.

Background: Water weight-loss walking training is an emerging physical therapy technique, which provides new ideas for improving the motor function of stroke patients and improving the quality of life of patients. However, the rehabilitation effect of water weight-loss training in stroke patients is currently unclear. Objective: To analyze the effect of water weight loss walking training in stroke patients. Methods: A total of 180 stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group received routine walking training, and the research group performed weight loss walking training in water on this basis. The lower limb motor function, muscle tone grade, daily living ability, gait and balance ability were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: Compared with the control group, the FMA-LE score (Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of Lower Extremity), MBI score (Modified Barthel Index) and BBS score (berg balance scale) of the study group were higher after treatment, and the muscle tone was lower (P Conclusion: Water weight loss walking training can enhance patients’ muscle tension, correct patients’ abnormal gait, improve patients’ balance and walking ability, and contribute to patients’ motor function recovery and self-care ability improvement.

Major ozonated autohemotherapy promotes the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with acute cerebral infarction

Major ozonated autohemotherapy is classically used in treating ischemic disorder of the lower limbs In the present study, we performed major ozonated autohemotherapy treatment in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and assessed outcomes according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health Stroke Score, Modified Rankin Scale, and transcranial magnetic stimulation motor-evoked potential. Compared with the control group, the clinical total effective rate and the cortical potential rise rate of the upper limbs were significantly higher, the central motor conduction time of upper limb was significantly shorter, and the upper limb motor-evoked potential amplitude was significantly increased, in the ozone group. In the ozone group, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Score was positively correlated with the central motor conduction time and the motor-evoked potential amplitude of the upper limb. Central motor conduction time and motor-evoked potential amplitude of the upper limb may be effective indicators of motor-evoked potentials to assess upper limb motor function in cerebral infarct patients. Furthermore, major ozonated autohemotherapy may promote motor function recovery of the upper limb in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Early application of percutaneous neuromuscular electric stimulation in interfering motor function of limbs and difference in temperature of axilla of patients with ischemic stroke

BACKGROUND： Temperature of axilla could be affected due to motor dysfunction of limbs and neural changes of vessel after ischemic stroke. OBJECTIVE： To observe the effect of percutaneous neuromuscular electric stimulation （PNES） on difference in temperature of axilla and analyze the relationship between function of limbs and difference in temperature of axilla. DESIGN： Randomized grouping and controlled observation SETTING： Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA PARTICIPANTS： Sixty patients with ischemic stroke were selected from Neurological Department of General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January to June 2003. All cases were diagnosed with clinical diagnosis criteria of ischemic stroke established by the Fourth Chinese Classification of Cerebrovasular Disease and CT examination and received neuromuscular electric stimulation （NES）. Patients were randomly divided into control group and treatment group with 30 in each group. METHODS： Control group： Patients received routinely neurological therapy. Treatment group： Except routine therapy, patients suffered from NES at 48 hours after hospitalization. NMT-91 NES equipment was used to stimulated injured limbs with low frequency once 30 minutes a day in total of 10 times a course, especially extensor muscle of upper limb and flexor muscle of lower limb. Prescription of hemiplegia was internally decided by equipment with the output frequency of 200 Hz. Intensity of electric output could cause muscle contraction. The therapy needed two or three courses. Temperature of bilateral axilla was measured every day to calculate the difference with the formula of （temperature of axilla on the injured side - temperature of axilla on the healthy side）. Motor function of limbs was measured with FugI-Meyer Motor Assessment （FMA） during hospitalization and at 2 and 4 hours after hospitalization. Among 90 points, upper and lower limb function was 54, equilibrium function 10, sensory function 10, and motion of joint 16. The higher the scores were, the better the function was. Correlation of data was dealt with linear correlation analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES ： Assessment and correlation between difference in temperature of axilla and motor function of injured limbs during hospitalization and at 2 and 4 weeks after hospitalization. RESULTS： All 60 patients with ischemic stroke were involved in the final analysis. ① Difference in temperature： Difference of 2 and 4 weeks after hospitalization was lower than that in control group and at just hospitalization [treatment group： （0.056±0.000）, （0.024±0.003） ℃; control group： （0.250±0.001）, （0.131 ±0.001）℃; hospitalization; （0.513±0.001） ℃, P 〈 0.05-0,01]. ② FMA scores： Scores of 2 and 4 weeks after hospitalization were higher than those in control group and at just hospitalization [treatment group; （43.50±15.09）, （67.97 ±18.21） points; control group： （33.33 ±13.54）, （40.87±19.34） points; hospitalization： （26.43 ±11.87） points, P 〈 0.05-0.01]. ③ Correlation： Difference in temperature of axilla was negative correlation with FMA scores （c=- -0.255 1, P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： ① PNES can accelerate recovery of limb function and decrease temperature of axilla of patients with ischemic stroke. ② The lower the difference in temperature is, the better the functional recovery is.

目的探讨信息-动机-行为技巧(IMB)下的康复干预在老年脑梗死患者中的应用效果。方法将符合本研究纳入及排除标准的116例脑梗死患者随机分成2组各58例,对照组采用常规康复,观察组采用基于IMB模型的康复干预。2组患者均在院内进行为期1个月的康复训练,院外监督患者继续进行2个月的康复训练并线上汇报每日康复训练情况,共连续干预3个月后评估2组患者上肢功能、运动功能、神经功能、生活质量及并发症发生情况。结果干预后2组患者Fugl-Meyer评估量表(FMA)及上肢Wolf(沃尔夫)运动功能测试量表(WMFT)评分均增加,且观察组增加幅度更显著[FMA:(25.91±4.42)分比(29.37±4.58)分,t=4.140,P<0.05;WMFT:(30.42±3.56)分比(34.29±4.05)分,t=5.466,P<0.05]。干预后2组患者FCA及BBS评分均增加,且观察组分值增加幅度更显著[FCA评分:(50.08±8.21)分比(57.63±8.58)分,t=4.842,P<0.05;BBS评分:(31.98±5.36)分比(37.41±5.79)分,t=5.241,P<0.05]。干预后2组患者NIHSS评分均降低,ADL评分均增加,且观察组分值变化幅度更显著[NIHSS评分:(9.60±1.73)分比(6.83±1.55)分,t=9.082,P<0.05;ADL评分:(75.33±5.56)分比(80.74±5.82)分,t=5.119,P<0.05]。干预后2组患者WHOQOL-BREF量表各维度评分及总分均升高,且观察组患者WHOQOL-BREF量表各维度评分及总分值变化幅度更显著(P<0.05)。观察组并发症发生率(1.72%)与对照组(18.97%)相比显著降低(P<0.05)。结论基于IMB模型的康复干预有效改善了老年脑梗死患者上肢功能、运动功能及神经功能,提高了患者生活质量,降低了并发症发生率。

Bobath康复训练改善脑卒中后肩手综合征患者上肢运动功能效果分析

目的 探讨Bobath康复训练改善脑卒中后肩手综合征(SHS)患者上肢运动功能效果。方法 采用便利抽样方法选取2022年4月至2023年1月南通市第三人民医院(南通大学附属南通第三医院)康复科收治的110例脑卒中后SHS患者作为研究对象,根据随机数字表法分为研究组和对照组,各55例。2组患者均实施基础护理,对照组实施常规康复锻炼,研究组同时联合Bobath康复训练。干预前后,对比2组患者Fugl-Meyer量表(FMA)评分、肩关节活动度评分、肩手综合征评定量表(SHSS)评分及患侧上肢Ashworth分级。结果 干预后,2组患者FMA评分及肩关节前屈、后伸、外展角度均大于干预前,且研究组大于对照组(P<0.05)。干预后,2组患者SHSS评分均低于干预前,且研究组低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预前,2组患者中不同Ashworth分级患者占比差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);干预后,研究组Ashworth分级0~Ⅰ+级患者占比高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 对脑卒中后SHS患者实施Bobath康复训练可提高上肢功能及肩关节活动度,可改善患者患侧上肢痉挛情况。
