The effects of motor imagery therapy on functional rehabilitation and fear of falling in elderly hip arthroplasty patients
Objective To explore the effect of motor imagery therapy on functional rehabilitation and fear of falling in elderly patients after hip arthroplasty.Methods Ninety-eight patients who received hip arthroplasty treatment in the orthopedic ward of our hospital from November 2021 to May 2023 were selected.The patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group by using random number table method,49 in each group.At the end,43 patients in the control group and 43 patients in the experimental group completed the study.The control group was given postoperative conventional physical rehabilitation therapy.The experimental group was combined with motor imagery therapy on the basis of the control group.After intervention,the differences of Harris hip function score,the rate of hip function,TUG-test and FFQ-R score were compared between the two groups.Results At the time of discharge and after 2 months of the intervention,the FFQ-R score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After 2 months of intervention,the TUG test time in the experimental group was less than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the Harris hip function scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).There was also no sig-nificant difference in the rate of hip function between the two groups at discharge(x2=1.550,P=0.213).After 2 months of intervention,the rate of excellent hip joint function in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group(x2=4.778,P=0.029).Conclusions Motor imagery therapy can improve patients'motor ability,reduce the fear of falling,and promote the post-operative rehabilitation of hip arthroplasty patients.
