Study on the Effect of Anterior or Posterior Internal Fixation Combined with Suspension Training on Walking Function and Static Balance Ability of Patients with Thoracolumbar Spine Fracture
Objective To analyze the effects of anterior or posterior internal fixation combined with suspension train-ing on walking function and static balance ability of patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures.Methods The clinical data of 85 patients with thoracolumbar spine fracture admitted to Jianshi County People's Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively selected,and were divided into the study group(anterior internal fixation combined with suspension training,47 cases)and the control group(posterior internal fixation combined with suspension train-ing,48 cases)according to the difference in treatment modalities.The two groups were compared in terms of walking function(including Holden Walking Ability Scale and 6 min walking distance)and static balance(Trunk Injury Rating Scale and Berg Balance Scale).Results The walking ability score was(3.78±0.42)points and 6 min walking distance was(199.51±5.43)m of the study group,which were better than(3.14±0.31)points and(176.54±4.51)m of the control group after the treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(t=8.463,22.449,both P<0.05).The score related to static balance ability was higher in the study group than in the control group,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Anterior internal fixation combined with suspension training can improve walk-ing function,walking ability and static balance ability in patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures.
