Methods: Chiropractic care plan consisted of weekly appointments with the inclusion of at-home exercises coupled with academic intervention of physical and occupational therapies and assistive gait devices. Functional changes were monitored via objective clinic findings, independent clinical examination, and parental observation. Results: Agitated flexion contracted non-weight bearing child with gastrointestinal dysfunction and developmentally shunted growth responds to co-managed chiropractic care. Focus on aiding structural balance helped improve the weight bearing movement and mobility, physical calmness and contentment, emotional and verbal communication, as well as gastointestinal function. Discussion: This therapeutic approach decreased aberrant posture and enhanced quality of life. Conclusion: Chiropractic care in combination with academic intervention improved this child’s postural abnormalities, attitude, and cognitive development warranting consideration in subsequent care investigation.展开更多

文摘目的:探讨动态神经肌肉稳定技术(Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization,DNS)下的核心稳定训练结合局部针刺运动方案对脑卒中后偏瘫患者步行及姿势控制能力的影响。方法:选取2022年3月~2022年9月在郴州市第一人民医院就诊的脑卒中患者90例,按随机数字表分为对照组(n=45)和观察组(n=45),对照组采用常规康复训练,观察组在此基础上增加DNS核心稳定训练结合局部针刺运动疗法。治疗8周后,对比并分析治疗前后两组患者步态时空参数中步长、步速、步频参数;步态时相参数中双支撑相占步态周期百分比、患侧单支撑相占步态周期百分比、步行周期参数;脑卒中患者姿势控制量表(Posture assessment of stoke scale,PASS)量表、Tinnetti(Performance-Oriented Assessment of Mobility)量表及Fugl-Meyer下肢运动功能(FMA-LE)量表评分数据。结果:治疗后,两组步长、步速、步频参数、双支撑相占步态周期百分比、患侧单支撑相占步态周期百分比、Tinnetti评分、PASS评分及FMA评分均显著高于治疗前(P<0.05),步行周期显著低于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组治疗后步长、步速、步频参数、双支撑相占步态周期百分比、患侧单支撑相占步态周期百分比、PASS评分、Tinnetti评分及FMALE评分均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),步行周期则低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:DNS核心稳定训练结合局部针刺运动可提高脑卒中后偏瘫患者核心稳定及姿势控制能力,改善步行功能。
