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 investigate the overall level of professional identity, learning motivation and learning engagement in students majoring rehabilitation technology in higher vocational education, and to explore the relationship among them.
Methods From March to April, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 334 students majoring in rehabilitation technology in three public full-time higher vocational schools in Beijing, Shandong and Anhui with the Professional Identity Scale, Learning Motivation Scale and Learning Engagement Scale.
Results A total of 334 valid questionnaires were collected. The average scores of professional identity, learning motivation and learning engagement were (3.64±0.66), (3.78±0.61) and (3.42±0.72), respectively. There was a significant positive correlation among them (r > 0.602, P < 0.01). The professional identity was different with schools and ages (P < 0.05), and the learning motivation was different with ages and grades (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in learning engagement in different schools, genders, ages, or grades (P > 0.05). The learning motivation played a mediative role between professional recognition and learning engagement, accounting for about 55.3% of the total effect.
Conclusion The professional identity, learning motivation and learning engagement of the students majoring in rehabilitation technology in higher vocational colleges are at a moderate level, which needs to be improved. The professional identity is different among the schools of cities with different economic development, which suggests that there may be a decreasing effect of policy transmission behind it, which should be highly valued.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of electromyography (EMG) and postural stability of lower limb muscles during Y-balance test (YBT) and their relationship.

Methods From October to November, 2021, a total of 26 female students aged 18 to 22 years were recruited from Binzhou Medical University to complete YBT; while the EMG of rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius of supporting legs were collected synchronously to measure root mean square (RMS), integral electromyography (iEMG), and muscle contribution rate; and the postural stabilities were measured with three-dimensional force platform, to record total, antero-posterior (A/P) and medio-lateral (M/L) path length of center of pressure (COP).

Results In three directions of YBT, the RMS of rectus femoris was the most (χ2 > 56.952, P< 0.001), and the iEMG and contribution rate of the tibialis anterior were the most (χ2 > 38.507, P < 0.001). All the path length of COP was the shortest in the anterior (P < 0.05). In the anterior, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of biceps femoris (r = 0.452, P = 0.02) and gastrocnemius (r= 0.397, P = 0.045); in the postero-medial, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of gastrocnemius (r= 0.478, P= 0.014); and in the postero-lateral, the total path length of COP correlated with iEMG of tibialis anterior (r = 0.437, P = 0.026).

Conclusion For YBT, the activation of rectus femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles of supporting legs are significant, and different with the indicators of EMG. Postural stability is the best in the posterolateral. The joint extensors or flexors play a different role for dynamic postural stability in the different directions.

Objective To explore the relationship between adolescents' sedentary behavior and poor vision.

Methods Both subjective (352 adolescents) and objective (331 adolescents) methods were used to measure the sedentary behaviors of adolescents aged twelve to 17 years in two phases with an interval of 14 weeks, to investigate the influence of different sedentary behaviors on the incidence of poor vision acuity in adolescents.

Results The sedentary time of adolescents was generally long, among which educational sedentary time and screen sedentary time accounted for a higher proportion. The detection rate of poor visual acuity among adolescents was significantly lower in low sedentary group/low education sedentary group than in high sedentary group/high education sedentary group (|t| > 3.422, P < 0.01). The objective measurement showed that the average daily sedentary time was significantly negatively correlated with the eyesight level in the first phase (r= -0.176, P < 0.001). The subjective measurement showed that the educational sedentary time was significantly negatively correlated with the eyesight level both in the first phase (r= -0.188, P < 0.001) and the second phase (r= -0.141, P <0.001). After controlling for moderate to vigorous physical activity, the objectively measured average daily sedentary time had no significant predictive effect on the poor vision of adolescents, and the subjectively measured educational sedentary time could significantly negatively predict the eyesight level of adolescents (β= -0.124, P= 0.026), however, there was no cross-lag effect between the two variables. The critical value analysis showed that the maximum value of Youden index was 0.206, corresponding to the educational sedentary time of 3 445 minutes a week, the sensitivity was 0.738, and the specificity was 0.467.

Conclusion Adolescents with high sedentary group have higher detection rate of poor vision. Educational sedentary has a significantly negative predictive effect on the eyesight level of adolescents. The detection rate of poor vision would increase if the educational sedentary time of adolescents is longer than 3 445 minutes a week.

Using the keywords and subject heading search method, articles about e-sports, health condition, functioning, functional rehabilitation (intervention) and outcome were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, PubMed, Web of Science and EBSCO from establishment to February, 2022. Systematic review had been adopted for literatures scanning, selection, quality review, and literature synthesis. ICF framework and WHO-FICs coding system were used to analyze the literatures in the fields of e-sport participants' main health condition and health-related conditions, functioning, interventions, and outcomes (health conditions and functioning).

Results and Conclusion Eight literatures from six countries had been finally included, mainly in the fields of clinical medicine, rehabilitation sciences, sports psychology and rehabilitation psychology. The literatures published mainly after 2015. The average scores on Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) were 6.88. Using ICF framework, adolescent e-sport participants had main health conditions and functioning at the levels of body, activity and participation, and environment. At body level, the health conditions and functioning involved in the fields of mental function, sensory function and pain, neuromusculoskeletal and motor-related functions, mainly manifested impairments or disorders such as cognitive impairment, emotional disturbance, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression and anxiety, obesity and musculoskeletal pain. At the individual level, main health conditions and functioning included healthy behaviors (such as sedentary behaviors, insufficient physical activity), diet and malnutrition, and other healthy behaviors. At the level of environment, main factors included support and personal relation, attitudes, services, institutional and policy performance. There were two categories of interventions: interventions at body level, such as physical intervention, psychological intervention; and intervention at activity and participation level, such as social intervention, cognitive-behaviors intervention, social media and moderate-to-high-intensity physical activity. Adolescent participants can get health benefits from interventions in the six dimensions of WHODAS2.0 of cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along with others, life activities, participation and health impact, and specifically manifested improvement in the fields of emotional and cognitive conditions, daily physical activity level, rapidly increasing from light to moderate physical activity; interruption sedentary, increasing in physical activity; enhancement of social relations, accessing to social support; and forming healthy living habits and improving the quality of life and well-being.

Objective To investigate the immediate effect of wearing a soft ankle brace on dynamic and static balance function and biomechanics of affected lower limbs during walking in chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients.

Methods From January to August, 2021, 40 CAI patients from Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Center, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, Capital Medical University were measured dynamic and static balance indexes with Zebris FDM-System and Y balance test, before and after wearing a soft ankle brace; while the kinetics indexes and surface electromyography of the affected lower extremities during walking were collected with Zebris FDM-System and a surface electromyography telemeter simultaneously.

Results The velocity and area of center of pressure reduced in both open and closed eye modes (|t| > 2.876, P < 0.01), the Y-balance scores increased in all the directions (|t| > 21.212, P< 0.001) after wearing brace; while the peak pressures and impulses increased in the midfoot and medial forefoot regions (|t| > 2.057, P < 0.05), and decreased in the lateral heel, lateral forefoot and toe regions (|t| > 2.464, P < 0.05), and the root mean square of surface electromyography increased in the tibialis anterior and lateral gastrocnemius (|t| > 2.159, P < 0.05) during walking.

Conclusion Wearing soft brace can immediately improve dynamic and static balance of CAI patients, and optimize plantar kinetic distribution and enhance activation of the anterior tibial and the lateral head of gastrocnemius of the affected limb during walking, to improve motor control of CAI patients.

Objective To investigate the injury risk of simplified 24-action Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting practice at different postures with mechanical analysis. Methods The mechanical model of the action of Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting was establishied, and then the coordinates, velocity, acceleration and horizontal angle of thigh and lower leg were determined by image analysis. The force arm of quadriceps femoris was detected by X-ray, and the quadriceps femoris tension, femoral tibial joint force and patellofemoral joint pressure of wild horse mane splitting practice with different postures were compared. Results Compared with the high posture, the coordination and velocity decreased, the average angle of knee joint decreased from 128° to 115° at the low posture; and the knee moment, the quadriceps femoris tension, femoral tibial joint force and patellofemoral joint pressure significantly increased (F > 37.187, P < 0.001). Conclusion When practicing Taiji Quan wild horse mane splitting, the risk of knee injury at the low posture is higher than that at high posture.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a perioperative rehabilitation clinical pathway of acetabular fracture in light of orthopedics rehabilitation team approach.

Methods A prospective randomized control trial was conducted in 82 patients with acetabular fractures who had been admitted from the Emergency Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from June, 2019 to January, 2021. The patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 41) and intervention group (n = 41). The control group was managed routinely, while the intervention group received the rehabilitation clinical pathway, for 24 weeks. The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of pain, the Barthel Index (BI) and Majeed Pelvic Score were compared.

Results Finally, 76 patients completed the trial. There was no statistical difference in VAS score between two groups in all periods (|Z| < 1.926, P> 0.05). The BI score was higher in the intervention group than in the control group at discharge, two weeks, six weeks and twelve weeks after operation (|Z| > 2.121, P< 0.05); and no significant difference was found before operation and 24 weeks after operation (|Z| < 1.862, P > 0.05). Majeed Pelvic Score was higher in the intervention group than in the control group two weeks, six weeks, twelve weeks and 24 weeks after operation (|Z| > 2.428, P< 0.05). Six, twelve and 24 weeks after operation, the excellent rate of Majeed Pelvic Score was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (χ2 > 6.136, P< 0.05).

Conclusion In comparison with traditional protocol in acetabular fracture, the perioperative rehabilitation clinical pathway was proved effective and of great safety in the light of the integration of orthopedics and rehabilitation mode for improving the function and activities of daily living of patients.
