Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of abdominal torsion movement on depression, constipation, motor symptoms and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods From March to October, 2021, 66 patients with Parkinson's disease hospitalized in Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into control group (n = 33) and experimental group (n = 33). Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation training and medication, and the experimental group was given abdominal torsion movement in addition, for eight weeks. They were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Chronic Constipation Severity Scale (CSS), Timed "Up and Go" Test (TUGT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), and the movement track length and ellipse area of pressure center within 30 seconds were compared before and after treatment. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of HAMD, CSS, BBS and PDQ-39, and the time of TUGT, the movement track length of pressure center and movement ellipse area between two groups (P > 0.05). All the indexes significantly improved after treatment in both groups (t > 9.674, P < 0.001), and were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 3.120, P < 0.01). Conclusion Abdominal torsion movement could improve the symptoms of depression, constipation and motor, and quality of life in Parkinson's patients.
