The Effect Of Long Time Taijiquan On Bone Density And Banlance Function Of Menopause Women

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of taijiquan training on Bone Density and balance function of menopause women, and study the effect of taijiquan training on osteoporosis of menopause women, in order to make a research on its mechanism.Methods59 osteoporotic menopause women were randomly divided into a non-exercise group and Taijiquan training group. Before and after the observation, the following indexes were examined:1 Bone density. Bone density of normotopia L2-4 and hip were examined by DPX-L of DXA, Lunar Co. USA.2 Posture control indexes. The static equilibrium indexes were recorded under the different states of eye open/close single foot/two feet standing by win-pop balance instrument.3 Dynamic equilibrium indexes. The distances that the hands and feet of the patients could touch at eight different directions were recorded by star like test pattern.Result1 Bone density. The result showed that bone density in L1, L2 and L4 of the subjects of the taijiquan group were higher than that of the control group (P<0.01-0.05). And the bone density of the left collum femoris and left WORDS septa of the subjects of taijiquan training group increased significantly than that of the control group(P<0.01).2 Static equilibrium indexes. The lengths (mm) of center of gravity loci excursion of the subjects in taijiquan group reduced under the states of standing on two feet with eyes open/close and standing on one foot with eyes/close, which were shorter than that of the control group(P<0.05).3 Dynamic equilibrium indexes. The distances that the hand and foot could touch at southwest, southeast, south and east directions of the subjects in taijiquan group were significantly different compared with that of the control group(P<0.01-0.05).Conclusion1 Taijiquan plays a positive role in menopause female's bone density, which can prevent the osteoporosis and bring a light on its non-medicine treatment.2 Taijiquan promotes the balance function of osteoporotic menopause women, elevates their stability and prevent the non-predictive injuries resulting from falling down.
