Application effects of isokinetic muscle strength training combined with sling exercise training in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury
Objective:To observe application effects of isokinetic muscle strength training combined with sling exercise training in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury admitted to this hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different training methods,they were divided into control group(40 cases)and study group(50 cases).The control group received sling exercise training,while the study group received isokinetic muscle strength training on the basis of that of the control group.Both groups were trained continuously for 3 months.The clinical efficacy,the balance function[Berg balance scale(BBS)]score,the surface electromyography level of lower limb muscles,and the self-care ability[spinal cord independence measure(SCIM)]score were compared between the two groups before and after the training.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was 95.00%(38/40),which was higher than 77.50%(31/40)of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After the training,the BBS score and the SCIM scores of self-care ability,respiratory and sphincter management ability,and mobility ability in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,after the training,the surface electromyography levels of quadriceps femoris,gastrocnemius,biceps femoris and anterior tibial muscle in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:The isokinetic muscle strength training combined with the sling exercise training in the patients with incomplete spinal cord injury can improve the total effective rate,the balance function scores,the lower limb muscle group surface electromyography levels and the self-care ability scores.Moreover,it is superior to single sling training.
