Effect Of Elastic Bond Combined With Motion Imagination Therapy On Balance And Falling Efficacy Of Elderly People With Locomotive Syndrome

Objectives This paper discusses the effect of elastic band combined with motion imagination therapy on the improvement of balance and falling efficacy of older people with locomotive syndrome,and provides a basis for effective intervention in the elderly with locomotive syndrome in the future.Methods From April to October 2020,we used the method of convenient sampling,selected Kaiping District and Lunan District,which had similar economic population and were adjacent in Tangshan City,and then randomly selected 4 communities from their respective jurisdictions: Dongcheng Lvting Community,Xinhua Building Community,Jian Gong Building Community,and Dongcheng Jingyuan Community.They were randomly divided into control group,elastic band group,motion imagination group,and joint intervention group by ballot method.The elderly people in the four communities were recruited and screened for locomotive syndrome,a total of 118 elderly people with locomotive syndrome were screened.The cantrol group and elastic band group had 30 people in each group.The motion imagination group and joint intervention group had 29 people in each group.Then the control group was given a blank control and compensatory training after the study: we used three intervention methods in the three intervention groups: elastic band training,motion imagination therapy intervention,and elastic band combined with motion imagination,and intervened three times a week for a total of 8weeks.The elderly with motor disorders were evaluated before intervention,4 weeks after intervention and 8 weeks after intervention,including using GLFS-25 Motor Function Scale,balance using the Tinetti Balance and Gait Scale,falling efficacy using the Chinese version of the Falling Efficacy Scale(MFES),and depression status using the Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS).We used SPSS17.0 statistical software to carry out the statistical analysis of the indicator data of the four groups of older persons before and after the intervention.Results Before the intervention,there were no statistically significant differences in motor function,balance,falling efficacy and depression scores among the four groups of elderly adults(P>0.05).After the intervention,1.4 groups of elderly people had a comparison of exercise function scores: After 4 and 8 weeks of intervention,the reduction of motor function scores in the combined intervention group was higher than that in the other three groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The difference between the other two intervention groups and the control group was not statistically significant(P>0.05).2.The score comparison of four groups of elderly people’s balance ability: after intervention,although the balance ability scores in the three intervention group has increased,however,the differences were statistically significant only when the joint intervention group compared the improvement of balancing capacity with the control group(P<0.05);3.Comparison of falling efficacy scores among the four groups: after intervention,the increase in falling efficacy of the elastic band group and the joint intervention group was better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant,and the joint intervention group was better than the elastic band group(P<0.05);4.Comparison of the depression scores of the four groups: after intervention,the reduction of depression scores of the exercise imagination group and the joint intervention group was better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant,and the joint intervention group was better than the exercise imagination group(P<0.05);5.Comparison results of different intervention points in each of the four groups of older persons: In the control group,there were two comparisons among the elderly indicator groups,and the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05);The decrease in motor function of the elderly in the elastic band group was only statistically significant at 4weeks of intervention,while the balance ability score and depression score were better than before intervention,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);In the exercise imagination group,only the depression score decreased gradually,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The exercise function score,balance ability score,falling efficacy score and depression score of the elderly in the joint intervention group were better than before intervention,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions Elastic band combined with motion imagination therapy showed significant improvements in motor function,balance,falling efficacy,and depression scores in elderly adults with locomotive syndrome,and the intervention was superior to stretch band training and motion imagination intervention alone.Figure 5;Table 17;Reference 96...
