Objective

To observe the effect of braces combined with insoles on scoliosis and walking performance in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Methods

From September, 2019 to September, 2020, 42 subjects with AIS were selected and randomly divided into brace group (n = 21) and brace combined with insole group (n = 21). Both groups received two-month routine rehabilitation, including braces for 22 to 23 hours a day and gymnastics for 30 minutes a day. The brace combined with insole group additionally wore insoles, at least eight hours a day for two months. Meanwhile, 32 even-aged adolescents were recruited as healthy controls. Firstly, gait and plantar pressure of 42 patients and 32 healthy adolescents were compared to find out abnormal indicators. Secondly, the scoliosis and above abnormal indicators were compared between the brace group and the brace combined with insole group

Results

The center of pressure excursion index (CPEI) was higher in AIS group than in the healthy group (F = 3.120, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in walking speed, gait cycle and phase between two groups (P>0.05). An obvious imbalanced pressure was observed between the medial and lateral heel of the single foot and the bilateral foot in AIS patients (P < 0.05). After treatment, the Cobb's angle decreased in AIS patients (t > 7.552, P < 0.001), however, no difference was found between the brace group and the brace combined with insole group (t = 0.459, P > 0.05); the CPEI decreased (t = 2.209, P < 0.05), and the pressure in medial and lateral heel as well as the left and right foot tended to be balanced (t > 2.306, P < 0.05) in the brace combined with insole group, and were better than that of the brace group (|t| > 2.319, P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Plantar pressure distribution shows obvious local and global asymmetric changes in AIS patients. The efficacy of insoles on the scoliosis is limited, but the insole can effectively improve the abnormal biomechanics and balance the force.

The evaluation of balance includes clinical observation, scales and instrumental measures. Functional Reach Test is simple and can be carried out in both standing and sitting, but the error of reading the measuring ruler is large, which results in new moving rulers and inertial sensors. The factors influencing the results of Functional Reach Test are moving strategy, age, moving efficiency, goal orientation, single or double arms, human characteristics, number of experiments and others. In the future, combination of electromyogram and inertia sensor can be used to discuss the variety of muscles and the changes of muscle strength, and more influence factors for the test are needed to research.

Objective

To apply Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in evaluating dynamic balance function in stroke patients.

Methods

From September, 2018 to November, 2019, 38 stroke hemiplegic patients of Brunnstrom IV and above who could walk independently were included. They completed SEBT by two testers; the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral extension standardized distance of the affected leg support were recorded. One of the testers measured SEBT again the day after the next day. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated. The limits of stability on different directions were measured with active balancer EAB-100 (EAB) and tested with Timed 'Up & Go' Test (TUGT) by the third tester. The correlation of SEBT to EAB and TUGT was analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient.

Results

ICCs of three directions was 0.892 to 0.951 between testers, and 0.888 to 0.963 of test-retest. The standardized distance of three directions of SEBT correlated with the anterior and lateral stability limits of EAB (r = 0.479 to 0.671, P < 0.05), as well as TUGT (r = -0.557~-0.633, P < 0.05).

Conclusion

SEBT is valid and reliable for evaluation of the dynamic balance for stroke patients of Brunnstrom IV and above who can walk independently.

Objective To explore the correlation of upper arm circumference and calf circumference with muscle mass, and the screening effect and the cut-off values for low muscle mass and sarcopenia. Methods From March to August, 2020, a total of 831 community-dwelling old people (≥ 60 years old) were recruited by using convenience sampling. Muscle mass and other body composition indicators were tested by body composition tester. The upper arm circumference, calf circumference, grip strength and gait speed were measured at the same day. Pearson cofficient was used to analyze the correlation of upper arm circumference and calf circumference with muscle mass, and receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic effect of upper arm circumference and calf circumference on low muscle mass and sarcopenia, and the Youden index (YI) was used to determine the cut-off values. Results Upper arm circumference and calf circumference were positively correlated with appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and skeletal mass index (SMI) (r = 0.6 to 0.8, P < 0.001). For diagnosing low muscle mass, the areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of upper arm circumference were 0.888 for male, 0.787 for female; and that of calf circumference were 0.933 for male, 0.854 for female, respectively. The cut-off values of upper arm circumference for low muscle mass were 26 cm for both male and female; and that of calf circumference were 34 cm for male and 33 cm for female, respectively. For diagnosing sarcopenia, the AUC of upper arm circumference was 0.902 for male, 0.744 for female; and that of calf circumference was 0.923 for male, 0.832 for female, respectively. The cut-off values of upper arm circumference and calf circumference for sarcopenia were 26 cm and 33 cm for both male and female. The AUC of combined diagnosis with age, upper arm circumference, calf circumference, grip strength and gait speed for low muscle mass and sarcopenia in males and females was all greater than 0.85. Conclusion In the community old adults, upper arm circumference and calf circumference are positively correlated with muscle mass, and both indices can be used to diagnose low muscle mass and sarcopenia. multi-indices combination can improve the diagnosis effect of upper arm circumference in females.

Objective To evaluate the accessibility construction status of road traffic sidewalks in Shanghai.Methods From July to September, 2019, 46 road traffic sidewalks in Shanghai were selected using a convenience sampling, and evaluation tools were designed based on the Codes for Accessibility Design (GB 50763-2012) and Standards for Design on Accessibility of Buildings and Facilities (DGJ08-103-2003). After field check and experience for the sidewalks, the compliance rates of evaluation dimensions and evaluation contents of sidewalks were analyzed using the descriptive analysis. The weights of each dimension were calculated using the principal component analysis to construct the sidewalk comprehensive barrier score model, and to compare the sidewalk comprehensive barrier scores in different areas of Shanghai. From September to November 2019, in-depth interviews were conducted with eleven persons with disabilities to understand the sidewalk barriers for them.Results The overall compliance rate of sidewalk accessibility was 4.35%. Among the evaluated contents, 93.5% sidewalks had a curb ramp, 91.3% had a height difference between the ramp and the carriageway, 26.1% were not paved with tactile ground surface indicators; 71.7% tactile ground surface indicators were blocked by poles, etc., and 84.8% were occupied by obstacles. The warning indicator was the greatest weight among the evaluated dimensions. The barrier of sidewalks was high (36.7%) and medium (20.0%) in the central area, which was higher than that in the sub-central area (both 6.3%) (P < 0.05). There were many obstacles during the experience of sidewalks using, resulting in less using of the barrier-free facilities.Conclusion Most of the sidewalks in Shanghai do not meet the standards of the Codes for Accessibility Design. It is urgent to construct and maintain the barrier-free facilities.
