Observation on the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress and acupoint injection on patients with lower limb asthenia
Objective To explore the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress and acupoint injection on patients with lower limb asthenia.Methods 100 cases of lower limb asthenia patients were selected as the research subjects,and were numbered by random number table method,with odd numbered cases into the control group and even numbered cases into the traditional Chinese medicine group,each with 50 cases.The patients in both groups received rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention,and the patients in the traditional Chinese medicine group received hot compress and acupoint injection intervention on this basis.The improvement of lower limb muscle strength,quality of daily life and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The isometric contraction,isometric contraction/body weight,isokinetic contraction,isokinetic contraction/body weight,five-times-sit-to-stand test(FTSST)and 6-min walking distance(6MWD)in the traditional Chinese medicine group were(99.34±12.83)N·m,(1.62±0.21)N·m/kg,(86.64±10.28)N·m,(1.23±0.10)N·m/kg,(6.12±0.84)s and(563.24±58.74)m,and those in the control group were(82.34±8.73)N·m,(1.54±0.22)N·m/kg,(72.34±6.83)N·m,(1.02±0.11)N·m/kg,(7.54±1.02)s and(447.57±48.06)m.There was no significant difference in isometric contraction/body weight between the two groups(P>0.05).The isometric contraction,isokinetic contraction,isokinetic contraction/body weight,FTSST and 6MWD in the traditional Chinese medicine group were better than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of severe or above functional defects in the traditional Chinese medicine group group was 10.00%,which was lower than 28.00%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the complication rate of the traditional Chinese medicine group was 10.00%,which was higher than 8.00%of the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Rapid rehabilitation nursing combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress and acupoint injection intervention for patients with lower limb muscle strength≤grade 4 can effectively improve the symptoms of lower limb fatigue,increase muscle strength,and will not increase the risk of complications.It is safe and has a certain social hygiene and clinical value,which is worth promoting.
