Objective:To study the influence of electromyographic biofeedback therapy(EMGBFT)combined with mirror therapy(MT)on lower limb motor and balance function in stroke patients. Method:Sixty patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into two groups:MT based EMG-BFT group and EMGBFT group,30 patients in each group.On the basis of conventional rehabilitation,the patients in the EMGBFT group received sham MT stimulation combined with EMGBFT,and the patients in the MT based EMGBFT group received MT combined with EMGBFT.Before and after treatment,the lower limb motor function of the patients was evaluated using Fugl-Meyer assessment scale-lower extremity(FMA-LE)and surface electromyography-integrated electromyography(iEMG)of knee flexion and ankle dorsiflex-ion,co-contraction ratio(CR).Plantar pressure-symmetry index(SI)of mean pressure and contact area of both feet,elliptical area of body center of gravity,anteroposterior(AP)and mediolateral(ML)displacement distance of body center of gravity under eye-opening and eye-closed states were calculated to evaluate pa-tients'weight-bearing and balance function. Result:After treatment,FMA-LE,CR and iEMG of biceps femoris and rectus femoris under knee flexion,tibialis anterior and medial gastrocnemius under ankle dorsiflexion were markedly ameliorated in the two groups(P＜0.01).After treatment,in the eye-opening state,the SI of mean pressure and contact area of both feet,elliptical area of body center of gravity,AP and ML displacement distances of body center of gravity were greatly enhanced in the two groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),in the eye-closed state,the SI of mean pressure and contact area of both feet,ML displacement distances of body center of gravity were observably ameliorat-ed in the two groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the EMGBFT group,the FMA-LE,iEMG of biceps femoris and tibialis anterior muscles,elliptical area of body center of gravity,AP and ML displacement dis-tance of body center of gravity with eyes open,SI of contact area of both feet with eyes closed had more significant changes in the MT based EMGBFT group after treatment(P＜0.05,P＜0.01). Conclusion:Electromyographic biofeedback therapy combined with mirror therapy can improve lower limb motor and balance function in stroke patients,the underlying mechanism of which may be the activation of lower limb weak muscle motor units,the relief of lower limb spasm,and the improvement of standing static balance ability.

Objective:To compare the short-term efficacy of hip arthroscopic surgery assisted by platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hip arthroscopy alone in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of 133 FAI patients admitted to Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The patients included 86 males and 47 females, aged 19-71 years [(39.1±12.6)years]. A total of 67 patients were treated with hip arthroscopy alone (hip arthroscopy group), and 66 patients were treated with PRP after hip arthroscopy under ultrasound guidance (hip arthroscopy+PRP group). The two groups were compared before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up regarding the following items: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Modified Harris Hip Score, International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), and Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living Scale (HOS-ADL). The incidence rate of complications after surgery was compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 108 patients were followed up for 24-36 months [(28.5±3.8)months], while 25 patients were lost to follow-up because of withdrawal of consent, wrong telephone number, etc, including 11 patients (16.4%) in the hip arthroscopy group and 14 patients (21.2%) in the hip arthroscopy+PRP group. The values of VAS in the hip arthroscopy group before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were 5.00(5.00, 7.00)points, 3.00(2.00, 3.75)points, and 1.00(0.00, 2.00)points, respectively; the values of Modified Harris Hip Score were 49.00(39.00, 57.00)points, 76.00(69.25, 82.00)points, and 86.00(82.00, 88.00)points, respectively; the values of iHOT-12 were 0.45(0.28, 0.58)points, 0.69(0.58, 0.80)points, and 0.81(0.70, 0.92)points, respectively; the values of HOS-ADL were 0.52(0.42, 0.68)points, 0.87(0.75, 0.93)points, and 0.93(0.86, 0.99)points, respectively. The scores of VAS in the hip arthroscopy + PRP group before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were 6.00(5.00, 7.00)points, 3.00(2.00, 3.75)points, and 1.00(0.00, 2.00)points, respectively; the values of Modified Harris Hip Score were 46.50(37.00, 56.75)points, 78.00(72.00, 84.00)points, and 84.50(82.00, 88.00)points, respectively; the values of iHOT-12 were 0.42(0.26, 0.51)points, 0.66(0.58, 0.74)points, and 0.81(0.68, 0.88)points, respectively; the values of HOS-ADL were 0.54(0.38, 0.65)points, 0.87(0.72, 0.96)points, and 0.94(0.86, 1.00)points, respectively. In both groups, VAS, Modified Harris Hip Score, iHOT-12, and HOS-ADL were significantly improved at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up compared with those before surgery, and were further improved at the last follow-up compared with those at 12 months after surgery (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in VAS, Modified Harris Hip Score, iHOT-12 and HOS-ADL between the two groups before, at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rates of postoperative hip pain and clicking between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy can considerably improve short-term hip symptoms and function in FAI patients, but the use of PRP treatment after hip arthroscopy cannot further improve its short-term efficacy in FAI patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) combined with repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on ankle motor function and balance of stroke patients. MethodsFrom April, 2022 to March, 2023, 96 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College were randomly divided into control group (n = 32), rPMS group (n = 32) and combined group (n = 32). The control group received conventional rehabilitation; rPMS group received rPMS on the basis of the control group; and the combined group received HBOT on the basis of rPMS group, for two weeks. Before and after treatment, the plantar weight-bearing ratio of the affected side, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), active range of motion (AROM) of ankle dorsiflexion of the affected side, and integrated electromyographic (iEMG) values during maximum isometric contraction of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles were measured. ResultsTwo cases dropped out in each group, and 90 cases were finally included, and no adverse events occurred during treatment. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in plantar weight-bearing ratio of the affected side, BBS score, AROM of ankle dorsiflexion of the affected side, and iEMG of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius among three groups (F < 2.070, P > 0.05). After treatment, all the indicators significantly improved in all the groups (|t| > 27.004, P < 0.001), and they were better in the combined group than in rPMS group and the control group (P < 0.001); except the proportion of plantar weight-bearing on the affected side, the other indicators were better in rPMS group than in the control group (P < 0.001). ConclusionrPMS can promote the recovery of ankle motor function and balance of stroke patients, and the effect combining with HBOT is better.
