Objective To review the current state of lung rehabilitation in China and explore the effect of lung rehabilitation on chronic respiratory diseases. Methods Database of CNKI ( 1979-2009) , VIP Chinese Periodical Database ( 1989-2009 ) , and Wanfang Data ( 1982-2009) resources were searched. Studies of lung rehabilitation were collected, and randomized and controlled trials were included. Data were extracted on study population, interfering and evaluating methods. The meta-analyses were performed by using RevMan 4. 2 software. The heterogeneity was analyzed by X2 and P value. Results A total of 3 clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. The study population were all severe and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases ( COPD) patients. Lung rehabilitation could improve daily activity( WMD:1. 29, 95% CI: 1. 05-1. 54) and dyspnea level ( SMD: - 1. 27, 95% CI: - 1. 67 to - 0. 86) of COPD patients. Conclusion The general level of studies on lung rehabilitation is not satisfied. Meta-analysis comfirmes that lung rehabilitation is beneficial in improving daily activity and dyspnea level of COPD patients.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of limb function and the methods of bone and soft tissue reconstruction of patients treated with allografting. METHODS: From May 1992 to January 1999, 90 patients suffered from bone malignant tumor were treated with allografting in different methods of internal fixations. The average follow-up was 37.5 months. The limb postoperative function, complications related to different surgical methods were compared according to Enneking evaluation system. RESULTS: Skin necrosis, infection, non-union, fracture of allograft were the main complications which affect patients’ limb postoperative functions. Of the 90 fresh-frozen allografting procedures, the final results of operation showed that hip joints and knee joints were better than the shoulder joints. More than 80% of the patients treated with interlocked intramedullary nail and allograft-prosthesis combination led to an over-all result that was excellent and good. Interlocked intermedullary nail was of recommended method of internal fixation. Early exercises of operative limbs could promote function recovery. CONCLUSION: Using of interlocked intramedullary nail and allograft-prosthesis combination are of recommended operation method and can be applied with better results, and early exercises of operative limbs will lead to better functions.
ObjectiveTo explore the rehabilitation treatment of postoperative dysfunction in hepatocellular carcinoma based on digital therapy and its clinical significance. MethodsThe postoperative rehabilitation clinic process of a patient was retrospectively analyzed according to the relevant clinical symptoms and dysfunctions, as well as the postoperative rehabilitation measures based on digital therapy and the patient’s prognosis. ResultsCombined with medical history, physical examination and rehabilitation assessment, the patient had pain, activity intolerance, insomnia, and symptom of anxiety and depression. The physical ability, pain, fatigue condition, symptom of anxiety and depression, and insomnia improved on 1 month after digital therapy-based exercise rehabilitation. ConclusionExercise rehabilitation based on digital therapy can improve the adverse symptoms and dysfunctional condition of patients with certain advantages.
With the rapid development of digital medical technology, digital rehabilitation medicine has become an emerging way of geriatric rehabilitation. Digital medicine utilizes intelligent devices such as digital technology and virtual reality to provide patients with immersive treatment services, or through online and remote internet platforms to provide self-active rehabilitation interaction and support, promoting patient rehabilitation training and self-management. But the acceptability and feasibility of digital rehabilitation are key factors that need to be considered for the elderly. Based on the characteristics of the elderly, strengthening the popularization of digital rehabilitation will truly help them in active rehabilitation.
In order to realize an individualized and specialized rehabilitation assessment of remoteness and intelligence, we set up a remote intelligent assessment system of upper limb movement function of post-stroke patients during rehabilitation. By using the remote rehabilitation training sensors and client data sampling software, we collected and uploaded the gesture data from a patient's forearm and upper arm during rehabilitation training to database of the server. Then a remote intelligent assessment system, which had been developed based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm and Brunnstrom stage assessment standard, was used to evaluate the gesture data. To evaluate the reliability of the proposed method, a group of 23 stroke patients, whose upper limb movement functions were in different recovery stages, and 4 healthy people, whose upper limb movement functions were normal, were recruited to finish the same training task. The results showed that, compared to that of the experienced rehabilitation expert who used the Brunnstrom stage standard table, the accuracy of the proposed remote Brunnstrom intelligent assessment system can reach a higher level, as 92.1%. The practical effects of surgery have proved that the proposed system could realize the intelligent assessment of upper limb movement function of post-stroke patients remotely, and it could also make the rehabilitation of the post-stroke patients at home or in a community care center possible.
Cardiac rehabilitation can safely and effectively improve the quality of patient's life and reduce readmission rate and mortality after cardiac surgery. Early cardiac rehabilitation after cardiac surgery is an indispensable part of cardiac rehabilitation. It can speed up the recovery of patient's exercise endurance, prevention of postoperative complications, shorten the time of returning to the family, increase the confidence of sustained rehabilitation, and lay foundation and set rehabilitation targets for the later stage of cardiac rehabilitation. This paper reviews the development history of early cardiac rehabilitation after cardiac surgery, and summarizes the current status, problems and outlook of rehabilitation management in China.
