Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effects of early limb functional rehabilitation and exercise on postoperative patients with high cervical spinal cord tumors. Methods? From November 2014 to July 2016, a total of 60 patients with high cervical intraspinal tumor hospitalized in the Spinal Cord Ward of Beijing Tian Tan Hospital were selected as the study subjects by convenience sampling method. All the subjects were divided into 2 groups with 30 cases in each by random number table method. The control group was given routine nursing after surgery, while the observation group was given early limb function rehabilitation training on the basis of the control group. The changes of muscle strength and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups 12 days after operation. Results? On the 12th day after operation, the muscle strength of the observation group improved in 16 cases, unchanged in 10 cases and aggravated in 4 cases, which was better than that of the control group in 4, 14 and 12 cases. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.870, P=0.003). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.455,P=0.035). Conclusions? Early limb function exercise can improve the level of muscle strength and reduce complications after operation,which is worthy of clinical application.
