Effect of Yang-palm Pile Method on Muscle Mass,Strength and Physical Activity Intensity of Patients with Crohn's Disease in Remission
Objective To investigate the effect of Yang-palm pile method on muscle mass,strength and physical activity in-tensity of patients with Crohn's disease(CD)in remission.Methods According to random digital tables,22 patients with CD in re-mission who were admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to November 2022 were divided into the observation group(14cases)and the control group(8 cases).The control group was given basic treatment with traditional Chinese and western medicines.The observation group was given intervention training by Yang-palm pile method on the basis of the control group.The body composi-tion,strength,physical activities,simplified Clinical Disease Activity Index(CDAI)and inflammatory factors[C-reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)]were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,weight,muscle mass,muscle mass of upper limbs,muscle strength of lower limbsand body fat of the two groups increased.The above indi-cators in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the strength of the two groups increased,and the observation group had larger strength than the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the physical activity intensity of the two groups increased,and the intensity of theobservation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the simplified CDAI scores,CRP and ESR levels in the two groups decreased.These indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Yang-palm pile method can effectively increase muscle mass of patients with CD,enhance their strength and physical activity intensity,and improve the levels of inflam-matory factors and disease activity.
