Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation combined with rehabilitation exercise on the recovery of elbow joint function after triad disease of elbow joint. Methods Sixty patients with terrible triad disease of elbow were divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number table. The treatment group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation combined with rehabilitation exercise. The control group was treated with rehabilitation exercise. The clinical effect rates, elbow activity and De Boer YA elbow function score were observed at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatmentt. Results The total effect rate was 83.3% (25/30) in the treatment group and 60.0% (18/30) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.021, P=0.044).After treatment,the elbow flexion(126.98 ± 10.46°vs.120.86 ± 10.37°,t=2.275),the hyperextension (8.26 ± 1.23° vs. 6.79 ± 1.29°, t=4.517), pronation (80.46 ± 8.60° vs. 73.42 ± 8.20°, t=2.404), and supination (78.53 ± 8.26° vs. 73.42 ± 8.20°, t=2.404) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group.. The De Boer YA elbow function score pain (27.13 ± 2.56 vs. 24.86 ± 2.42, t=3.529), Daily activities (32.26 ± 4.24 vs. 29.48 ± 4.36, t=2.503), movement (31.46 ± 4.66 vs. 28.74 ± 4.59, t=0.026), total score(90.42 ± 8.76 vs.83.82 ± 8.42,t=2.975)in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (Ps<0.05). Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation combined with rehabilitation exercise can promote the recovery of elbow joint function in triad of elbow joint.
