Effects of isometric resistance training combined with Baduanjin on cervical function recovery and quality of life in patients with cervical spondylosis
Objective To explore the effects of isometric resistance training combined with Baduanjin on cervical function recovery and quality of life in patients with cervical spondylosis.Methods A study was conducted on 76 patients with cervical spondylosis.They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 38 patients in each group.The control group received routine cervical traction treatment,while the observation group received isometric resistance training combined with Baduanjin treatment.The cervical range of motion,neck disability index(NDI)score,and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results In the observation group,the cervical range of motion for antexion,extension,left rotation,and right rotation before treatment were(44.45±8.73),(47.73±9.52),(51.18±10.29),and(50.61±11.15)°;after treatment,they were(59.14±11.58),(61.02±12.57),(77.20±12.55),and(75.36±13.31)°.In the control group,the cervical range of motion for antexion,extension,left rotation,and right rotation before treatment were(44.47±8.69),(47.69±9.50),(51.20±10.31)and(50.58±11.21)°;after treatment,they were(52.31±10.62),(53.15±11.63),(70.09±12.10),and(69.01±12.14)°.After treatment,the the cervical range of motion for antexion,extension,left rotation,and right rotation in both groups was higher than those before treatment,and the observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,NDI scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and NDI score of(14.50±2.14)points in the observation group was lower than(21.08±3.39)points in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of social function,physical function,role-physical,vitality,bodily pain,general health,mental health and role-emotional in both groups were higher than those before treatment,and the observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of isometric resistance training and Baduanjin treatment can promote the recovery of cervical function and improve the quality of life in patients with cervical spondylosis,and is worth promoting.
