Methods Acupuncture in three kinds of different acupoint combinations was conducted on 90 patients with cervical spondylosis(three groups): group A [distal point selection group: Kūnlún(昆仑 BL 60) and Hòuxī(后溪 SI 3)]; group B [local point selection group: Fēngchí(风池 GB 20) and Tiānzhù(天柱 BL 10)]; group C(distal and local point selection group: BL 60, SI 3, GB 20 and BL 10). Self control before and after treatment was adopted to observe the mean value of surface electromyography(SEMG) amplitude, to measure the mean values of integrated electromyography(IEMG) and electromyography root mean square(RMS), and to calculate the variation rate of electromyography amplitude of trapezius on the affected side of patients before and after acupuncture. The differences of influences of different acupoint combinations on immediate effect of surface electromyography were compared intra-group, and the differences among the three groups after acupuncture were also compared. Results According to the intragroup comparison before and after acupuncture, the differences of mean value of electromyography amplitude, variation rate of electromyography amplitude, IEMG and RMS were both statistically significant(all P〈0.05). According to the inter-group comparison after acupuncture, the mean value of electromyography amplitude, variation rate of electromyography amplitude, IEMG and RMS varied in different degrees, however, the differences were not significant(all P〉0.05); there was no significant difference in the total effective rate among the three groups(P〉0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture treatment in different acupoint combinations can increase IEMG and RMS and reduce mean value of electromyography amplitude and variation rate of electromyography amplitude, enhance cervical vertebral stability and active contractility of muscle fiber, and improve the fatigue resistance of neck flexion; while, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on cervical spondylosis has nothing to do with the distance or the number of selected acupoint.展开更多

According to the inter-group comparison after acupuncture, the mean value of electromyography amplitude, variation rate of electromyography amplitude, IEMG and RMS varied in different degrees, however, the differences were not significant(all P〉0.05); there was no significant difference in the total effective rate among the three groups(P〉0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture treatment in different acupoint combinations can increase IEMG and RMS and reduce mean value of electromyography amplitude and variation rate of electromyography amplitude, enhance cervical vertebral stability and active contractility of muscle fiber, and improve the fatigue resistance of neck flexion; while, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on cervical spondylosis has nothing to do with the distance or the number of selected acupoint.
文摘目的:探讨仰卧凌空直蹬腿锻炼对经椎间孔入路内镜下腰椎间盘切除术(transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy,TELD)后患者肌群调控与筋骨平衡作用机制。方法:选取了2024年7月至2025年1月行TELD患者38例,根据TELD后锻炼方式不同分为功法组和飞燕组,各19例。两组患者于术后2周拆线后行4周的术后康复锻炼。功法组19例,男12例,女7例;左侧9例,右侧10例;年龄25~61(40.37±10.40)岁;手术节段在L_(4,5)的10例,L_(5)S_(1)的9例;身体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)为19.72~27.68(23.48±2.46)kg·m^(-2);采用仰卧凌空直蹬腿锻炼。飞燕组19例,男16例,女3例;左侧9例,右侧10例;年龄25~67(40.16±10.86)岁;手术节段在L_(4,5)的11例,在L_(5)S_(1)的8例;BMI为18.43~29.28(24.49±2.88)kg·m^(-2);采用“飞燕”式锻炼。比较两组锻炼前及锻炼4周后的疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analogue scale,VAS)、腰椎功能障碍指数(Oswestry disability index,ODI),比较两组锻炼前后患侧的竖脊肌、腹直肌、股内侧肌、股外侧肌、腓肠肌的最大收缩值(maximal voluntary contraction,MVC)、肌电均方根值(root mean square,RMS)、积分肌电值(integral of the EMG signal,INT)、平均功率频率(mean power frequency,MPF)、RMS占最大自主收缩的百分比(RMS/MVC值,%MVC),比较两组锻炼前后患侧的竖脊肌、腹直肌、股内侧肌、股外侧肌、腓肠肌的肌肉肌张力F值(oscillation frequency),硬度S值(dynamic stiffness)和弹性D值(logarithmic decrement of a muscle's natural oscillation)。结果:功法组锻炼后VAS低于锻炼前,两组锻炼后ODI均低于锻炼前,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);飞燕组锻炼后VAS与锻炼前比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);功法组锻炼后VAS、ODI低于飞燕组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);功法组竖脊肌锻炼后RMS、INT、MPF、%MVC低于飞燕组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);功法组腹直肌锻炼后MVC、RMS、INT、%MVC高于飞燕组,MPF低于飞燕组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);飞燕组竖脊肌锻炼后F、S值高于锻炼前,功法组腹直肌、股内侧肌、股外侧肌锻炼后D值均低于锻炼前,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:仰卧凌空直蹬腿运动可有效缓解术后疼痛,促进腰椎功能恢复,激活核心肌群,增强下肢肌群协同作用,改善肌肉张力、硬度和弹性,可为腰椎内镜术后康复锻炼提供新方案。
