1.Reliability and Validity of A Simple Apparatus Measuring Displacement of Pelvis in Balance Test
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2010;16(2):127-129
ObjectiveTo assess a simple apparatus measuring displacement of pelvis in clinical application.MethodsTwo testers measured the displacement of pelvis of 20 healthy young subjects moving their body forward, backward, leftward and rightward in standing position. The reliability of inter- and intra-tester was tested with intraclass correlation co-efficiency (ICC). And the validity between this method and Functional Reach Test (FRT) was tested.ResultsThe ICC of inter- and intra-tester were 0.91~0.97 and 0.94~0.98 respectively, and correlated with FRT (r=0.88, P<0.01).ConclusionThis simple apparatus can be used in a balance test.

Objective To explore the correlation between cognitive ability and motor ability in stroke patients.Methods 30 stroke patients were assessed with the 3 m Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The anticipated time by patients and the actual time were recorded, and their difference was caculated, named as the cognitive error. They were also assessed with Trail Making Test-Part A (TMT-A). The actual time of TUG, cognitive error and the time of TMT-A was compared among different groups of Brunnstrom stage of lower limb, and their correlation was analyzed. Results There was a significant difference between the actual time of TUG between Brunnstrom stage Ⅲ and Ⅴ (F=4.600, P<0.05). There was positive correlation between actual time of TUG and cognitive error(r=0.844, P<0.01), time of TMT-A and cognitive error(r=0.508, P<0.01), time of TMT-A and actual time of TUG (r=0.414, P<0.05). Conclusion Motor ability of stroke patients can be influenced by deficient attention and motor cognition.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the motor cognitive ability and the incidence of fall in the aged people. MethodsAccording to the fall experience within a year, 91 aged people were divided into 2 groups: fall group and non-fall group. They were tested using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) with the eyes opening or closing. The anticipated time, actual time and the difference were recorded. ResultsThere were significant differences between these 2 groups in the eye-closed anticipated time, actual time, the difference of eye-open anticipated time and eye-closed anticipated time, the difference of eye-open anticipated time and actual time (P<0.05). ConclusionThe motor cognitive ability of the falled elderly more depends on their vision. The motor cognitive disability is one of the factors resulted in fall in aged people.

With the popularization of rehabilitation and the development of the physiotherapy, some chronic diseases do not only mean the history of the patients, but also the objects of physiotherapy. The exercises will affect the cardiopulmonary function of the patient, and result in a high risk of accident. This article would review the risk factors and risk management in physiotherapy for chronic diseases.
