RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo develop the manipulation and scoring system of Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) into a Chinese software.MethodsThe manual manipulation and scoring system of LOTCA was developed into a technological procedure and changed into primary product of software through conforming computer programs such as Basic, C, C++ and Flash Maker. The primary product was tested in clinic and feedback suggestions were collected. The questions found during assessment and items with reliability and validity not satisfied were optimized.ResultsThe Chinese software of LOTCA, including mandarin and Cantonese, composed manipulation system, scoring system, administer system and affiliated system. It could run on systems of Windows 2000 and Windows XP.ConclusionThe Chinese software of LOTCA is objective, standard and convenient for clinic.
RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effect of floating acupuncture on the the processus transverses of vertebrae lumbales Ⅲ syndrome.Methods40 patients with the processus transverses of vertebrae lumbales Ⅲ syndrome were divided into the floating acupuncture group (20 cases) and the traditional group (20 cases). The pain was evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after treatment.ResultsCompared with traditional treatment, the floating acupuncture can relieve pain rapidly after 15 min and 1 d of treatment. ConclusionThe floating acupuncture shows preferable clinical curative effect to patients with the processus transverses of vertebrae lumbales Ⅲ syndrome.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on patients with vertebral-artery-type cervical spondylosis by means of transcranial Doppler sonography ~TCD) and brainstem auditory evoked potentials ~BAEP), and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture in treatment of cervical spondylosis by means of blood velocity and neuroelectrophysiology measurements. Methods Forty patients with vertebral-artery-type cervical spondylosis were divided into acupuncture treatment group ~20 cases) and routine treatment group ~20 cases). The TCD and BAEP were examined before the rehabilitation treatment and 2 week later. Comparing with the control group, the effect of acupuncture on the blood velocity and cerebral electrophysiology was analyzed. Results ~1)The total efficiency rates in the two treatment groups were 90% and 85%, respectively. The clinical heal rate was 45% in acupuncture group and 35% in routine group. There was no statistic difference with regard to the therapeutic effect and the length of treatment between the two groups. ~2)The blood velocity of vertebrobasilar artery ~VBA) in the patient group was decreased. The abnormal rate of TCD was 77.5% ~31/40 cases), characterized with the decrease of VBA. The abnormal rate of BAEP was 75% ~30/40 cases), characterized with brainstem abnormality type. ~3)The blood velocity in both groups was increased after treatment. Compared with the routine therapy group, the velocity of blood flow in vertebral artery in acupuncture treatment group was increased markedly ~P
