Therapeutic Effect of Water Exercise Therapy Combined with Land Phys-iotherapy on 62 Cases of Common Peroneal Nerve Injury
Objective To investigate the effect of water exercise therapy combined with land physiotherapy on common peroneal nerve injury.Methods A total of 62 patients with common peroneal nerve injury admitted to Beijing Hemujia Rehabilitation Hospital from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected conveniently as the research objects.Ac-cording to the random number table method,they were divided into control group and hydrotherapy group,with 31 cases in each group.The two groups were treated with neurotrophic drugs,while the control group was given tradi-tional terrestrial physiotherapy,and the hydrotherapy group was treated with a combination of water exercise therapy and terrestrial physiotherapy for 8 weeks.The curative effect was evaluated by rehabilitation assessment and neuro-electrophysiological criteria before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the active joint range of motion for ankle dorsiflexion in the hydrotherapy group was(7.28±3.06)˚,the walking speed of 10 meters was(1.27±0.44)m/s,which were better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=2.155,2.205,both P<0.05).The step size of the hydrotherapy group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage increase of dam-aged nerve conduction velocity between the hydrotherapy group and the control group(P>0.05).The percentage of re-cruitment frequency of heavy force motor unit potential and the percentage of increase in amplitude of action potential of damaged nerve complex muscles in the hydrotherapy group were all better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of common peroneal nerve injury by water exercise therapy combined with land physical therapy is more effective than land physical therapy alone and has higher clinical application value,which is worthy of further research and promotion.
