Objective: To observe the effect of modified fixed Yijinjing exercises for postoperative elderly patients with hip fracture in the household rehabilitation, and provide evidence for guidance in clinical and household rehabilitation. Methods: Postoperative elderly patients with hip fracture were subjedted to rehabilitative treatment in hospital for one month. Thereafter, 68 elderly patients who returned home were divided into control group and treatment group,34 patiens in each group. The patients in control group were given the routine house rehabilitation training, including range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, balance and activity of daily life (ADL). The treatment group was gived the conventional household rehabilitation plus modified fixed type Yijinjing.Both groups of patients were evaluated with hip function scale (Harris), activities of daily living (Barthel index), geriatric depression scale (GDS) in the pre intervention period and after 3 months of intervention. Result:After 3 months of treatment,Harris and Bathel scores in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (All P<0.05), and those in the treatment group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.05). The GDS score in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group before and after the treatment(P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups before and after the treatment.Conclusion: The modified fixed type Yijinjing can improve the patient’s hip joint function, daily living ability and depression when postoperative elderly patients with hip fracture undergoes the household rehabilitation. |
