Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of exercise on preventing falls in the elderly.

Methods

Literatures of randomized controlled trials about exercises for prevention of falls in the elderly were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library and CNKI from 1980 to July, 2020. The qualities were evaluated with Review Manager 5.3, and the data were analyzed with R-Studio and Addis 1.16.6.

Results

A total of 172 randomized controlled trials were finally included, with nine kinds of exercise intervention. The cognition and movement multitask training was the most effective to decrease fall rate (OR = 0.26, 95%CI 0.14 to 0.49, P < 0.05). The combined physical and whole body vibration training was the most effective to improve the score of Berg Balance Scale (d = 6.3, 95%CI 3.5 to 9.2, P < 0.05) and the time of Timed 'Up & Go' Test (d = -4.5, 95%CI -6.8 to -2.1, P < 0.05). The blood flow restriction training was the most effective to increase the lower limb muscle strength (d = 12, 95%CI 7.4 to 16, P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The cognition and movement multitask training is the first recommended exercise to prevent falls in the elderly, followed by Taiji Quan and multimodal training. Gait practice or resistance training are the least effective. A variety of new intervention methods (blood flow restriction training, combined physical and whole body vibration training, Wit Fit training, etc.) may improve the physical function of the elderly, and need further researches.

Objective To describe the medical services, quality and safety of rehabilitation medicine departments in general hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals in 2020 from the aspects of structure, link and outcome quality.

Methods Through the National Clinical Improvement System of the National Health Commission, all secondary and above general hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals were investigated in 2021, the relevant data from 9 138 hospitals, including traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospitals in 2020. A total of 2 676 sampling hospitals were equipped with rehabilitation medicine wards. After cleaning, a total of 2 268 samples of hospitals were included for analysis. Then, the setting of wards of rehabilitation medicine departments in 6 336 hospitals that participated in the questionnaire of rehabilitation medicine departments from 2017 to 2020 was analyzed.

Results Among the 9 138 general hospitals surveyed this year, only 2 676 had rehabilitation wards, and three general hospitals administrated to National Health Commision had not yet set up wards. In general hospitals, the average number of physicians per bed in 57.92% hospitals, the average number of rehabilitation therapists per bed in 80.44% hospitals, and the average number of nurses per bed in 53.92% hospitals did not meet the national requirements, and the average number of rehabilitation medical personnel per bed in rehabilitation medicine departments in different regions was significantly different. The rates of early rehabilitation intervention were 13.20%, 18.90% and 29.25% respectively in the department of orthopedics, department of neurology and department of intensive care in general hospitals. The average activity of daily living improvement rate of discharged patients from rehabilitation department of general hospital was 76.35%, and that of discharged patients from rehabilitation specialized hospital was 64.30%.

Conclusion Professional medical services and quality safety of rehabilitation medicine in China improve steadily, and the degree of homogenization is further strengthened. However, from the perspective of the current prominent problems, in 2020, most general hospitals in China have not configured the wards of rehabilitation medicine, and there are problems such as the total number of rehabilitation medical personnel in the country does not meet the requirements, uneven distribution, insufficient early intervention in rehabilitation, and room for improvement of rehabilitation treatment effect, which need continuous improvement.

Objective To systematically review the effectiveness of pediatric wheelchairs on the function of children with disabilities.Methods Literatures about clinical application of pediatric wheelchairs were researched from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO (CINAHL), CNKI, Wanfang Database and VIP Database, till February, 2021. The clinical application effectiveness of pediatric wheelchairs was extracted and analyzed by inductive approach.Results A total of ten case studies, one randomized controlled study and one cohort study were included, and quality assessment showed low quality. There were different types of pediatric wheelchairs for all ages over twelve months and different disease types of children, mostly for cerebral palsy. The review showed that pediatric wheelchairs mainly improved the motor function of disabled children, promoted the development of cognitive functions, and improved activities and participation abilities. The wheelchairs could be individually adapted to manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and smart wheelchairs, according to the individual conditions of the children, with additional postural support devices for adaptive transformation.Conclusion Pediatric wheelchairs can be used to improve the function and quality of life of children with disabilities. Although functional rehabilitation effects of pediatric wheelchairs have shown a promising trend, most of the current studies are case reports, and there is a lack of high-quality clinical control studies, and the unified adaptation standard has not been established yet.

Objective To investigate the related factors of fall among community-dwelling and hospitalized elderly.Methods From May to September, 2021, 50 elderly from Tianshenggang Community Health Service Center of Medical Union of Nantong University Affiliated Hospital and 50 elderly in the first ward of Geriatrics Department of Nantong University Affiliated Hospital were selected by random systematic sampling method. Face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted respectively. All the participants underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment and blood, neuromusculoskeletal B-ultrasound tests. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the status and related factors of falls among community and hospitalized elderly with a history of falls within one year.Results There were significant differences in fall history, the score of Morse Fall Scale (MFS) and hospitalization due to fall history between the hospitalized elderly and the community-dwelling elderly (χ2 > 6.250, Z=-3.132, P<0.05). In addition to fall related factors, age, ability of self-care, the score of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICI-Q-SF), frailty index (FI), the score of Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) part 2, the score of Short Form of Health Survey (SF-36), the score of Memorial University of Newfoudland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), waist-to-hip ratio, arm and leg circumferences, red blood cell count, hemoglobin and triglyceride were the related factors of fall in hospitalized elderly (|Z| > 0.462, χ2=7.447, P<0.05). The scores of Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15, MFS, FI and SF-36, and grip strength were the related factors of fall in community-dwelling elderly (|Z| > 1.758, χ2=6.640, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for falls in hospitalized elderly within one year were age, the score of MFS, FI, arm and leg circumferences, the score of SF-36, hemoglobin and triglyceride. The related factors of falls in community-dwelling elderly included the scores of GDS-15, MFS, FI SF-36 and MUNSH, and grip strength (P<0.05). The scores of SF-36 and MUNSH decreased after fall for elderly in both community and hospital (t=-3.108, Z > 2.567, P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of falls and hospitalization due to falls, and the risk of falls are higher among the hospitalized elderly than that in community, and the related factors are different. Therefore, it is needed to carry out targeted intervention for the corresponding factors to reduce the occurrence of fall.

Objective

To investigate the changes of the functional connectivity of hypothalamus and the whole brain anisotropy in patients with dysphagia after stroke using magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods

From December, 2018 to December, 2019, 14 patients with dysphagia after stroke and 15 healthy controls matched in age, sex and dominant hemisphere were selected. The functional connections from bilateral hypothalamus were researched with resting-state functional nuclear magnetic resonance, and the correlation between functional connection and scores of Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) was analyzed. Meanwhile, the whole brain white matter integrity was observed with diffusion tensor imaging, and the fraction anisotropy (FA) was compared.

Results

Compared with the controls, the functional connections from left hypothalamus to left precentral gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, left marginal lobe, left parietal lobe and left occipital lobe decreased in the patients; while the functional connections to left thalamus, left midbrain and right occipital lobe increased; the functional connections from right hypothalamus to right precentral gyrus, bilateral marginal lobe, bilateral superior temporal gyrus and right parietal lobe decreased; the functional connection to bilateral parietal lobe and bilateral occipital lobe increased.

Objective To explore the effect of intensive hip adductor isometric strength training on the balance ability of functional ankle joint instability. Methods From November, 2019 to January, 2020, 18 college students with functional ankle instability were recruited from a university in Shenzhen and randomly divided into control group (n = 9) and experimental group (n = 9). Both groups received ankle stability training, and the experimental group received isometric muscle strength training of hip adductor in addition, one hour a time, three times a week, for four weeks. The Cumberland Ankle Instability Assessment Questionnaire (CAIT), Y Balance Test (YBT), Balance-check balance equipment and Back-check hip adductor maximum isometric strength test were performed before and after training. Results After training, the scores of CAIT, YBT and balance-check increased in both groups (t > 2.540, P < 0.05); the strength of adductor hip muscle significantly increased in the experimental group (t = 8.485, P < 0.001). The d-value of CAIT score, YBT distance, the score of Balance-check, and the strength of adductor hip muscle were more in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.168, P < 0.05); the d-value of the average rotation speed, the maximum rotation speed and the balance level were less in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.804, P < 0.05). Conclusion Hip adductor isometric muscle strength training may promote the recovery of the balance after functional ankle instability.

With potent biological activities, cellular growth factors are polypeptide factors that primarily stimulate cell growth and proliferation. They participate in the regulation of not only normal physiological functions such as human embryonic development and cell growth, but also neurorehabilitation and neuroplasticity in pathological processes such as nerve injury and recovery. Specifically, cellular growth factors have been shown to promote neuron survival, facilitate nerve regeneration and regulate synaptic plasticity, promote cell differentiation/vascular regeneration and modulate the microenvironment, promote nerve fiber myelination and improve nerve conduction. This review summarized current knowledge on the roles and various growth factors in neurorehabilitation and neuroplasticity, providing an update on potential clinical application of cellular growth factors in the field of neural rehabilitation.

《Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice》    2021, 27 (5): 516-521.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-9771.2021.05.004

With the development of rehabilitation researches for post-stroke motor dysfunction, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on nerve injury has also attracted extensive attention. Subcortical lesions of stroke affect nearby or distal brain areas, leading to motor dysfunction. Mirror neuron system therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial electrical stimulation can activate relevant regions of cerebral cortex in a non-invasive way, and restore the balance between cerebral hemispheres, which can regulate the whole brain network circuit. However, there is a lack of grade A evidence for the effects of transcranial electrical stimulation. Although acupuncture and moxibustion can widely regulate the topological structure of the whole brain functional network nodes, it cannot fully explain the therapeutic mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion due to the differences of acupuncture point selection, manipulation, time, and channels. The interactive application of rehabilitation therapy and neuroimaging is becoming a new direction of stroke treatment research.

Objective To explore the correlation among knee hyperextension angle, lower limb joints kinematics parameters and the activation of main muscles of lower limb in stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension during walking. Methods From August, 2020 to September, 2021, 24 stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension and 24 healthy subjects matched with sex, age, height and body mass with knee hyperextension were analyzed with three-dimensional gait analysis system and the wireless surface electromyography acquisition system, to record the range of motion of pelvis, hip, knee and ankle joints in sagittal plane, and the activation of bilateral gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, vastus medialis and gastrocnemius medialis. Results As the maximum of knee hyperextension, range of motion of the joints in sagittal plane and the activation of the muscles were different between the patients and the healthy subjects during the single-support phase of walking (|t| > 3.080, P < 0.01), and the maximum of knee hyperextension correlated with the activation of gluteus maximus in the patients (r = -0.532, P < 0.01), and the range of motion of ankle plantar flexion in both the patients and the healthy subjects (r > 0.686, P < 0.001). Conclusion The correction for knee hyperextension gait in stroke hemiplegic patients may not only need to pay attention to knee joint control, but also need further treatment of ankle control and hip muscle function.

Objective To observe the gait characteristics related to the horizontal obstacle crossing, to optimize obstacle crossing strategy to reduce the risk of falling.

Methods A total of 15 healthy young men were recruited in September, 2019, to complete horizontal obstacle crossing tasks (0 cm, 45 cm, 55 cm and 65 cm wide), with dominant and non-dominant limbs first on a specific experimental path. Gait parameters were collected with infrared camera and biomechanics force plate.

Results As the width of the obstacle increasing, the speed, stride length, step length and toe clearance of trailing limb (TCt) increased; while the heel-to-obstacle distance (HOD) and toe-to-obstacle distance (TOD) decreased. As the non-dominant limb crossing first, the speed of following step was slower, and the TCt, step width, step length and HOD increased.

Conclusion The risk of falling increases with the width of the obstacle during horizontal obstacle crossing. It is recommended to use non-dominant limbs leading crossing, and increase stride length, step length and TCt to reduce the risk of falling.
