Objective To explore the effect of combined aerobic and resistance exercise training on the quality of life, pain degree and hospital stay of spinal scoliosis patients. Methods A total of 112 patients were selected from January 2016 to March 2018, thereby assigning two groups randomly (56 cases). Patients in the control group was nursed by conventional training methods and traditional health education. The experimental group was added combined aerobic and resistance exercise training. The quality of life, pain degree on the first day of admission, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after operation was evaluated by Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),the hospital stay was observed and compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference of SRS-22 score and VAS score on the first day of admission between the two groups (P>0.05). The score of VAS was 7(6.25,8.75), 4(3.25,5.00) points in 1 week, 1 month after operation in the experimental group, 8(7.00, 9.00), 5(3.00, 6.00) points in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (Z=4.380, 3.318, P<0.01). The score of SRS-22 was (71.32±10.31), (65.96±6.01), (50.40±7.82) points in 1 week, 1 month, 3 months after operation in the experimental group, (74.64 ± 6.86), (68.16 ± 5.43), (66.42±7.65) points in the control group,and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=2.312, 1.286, 4.508, P<0.01 or 0.05). The hospital stay was (19.30±7.21) d in the control group, (16.70± 5.43) d in the experimental group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=1.321, P<0.05).Conclusions Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training is effective at decreasing the degree of pain in post operation, improving quality of life and shorting average of length of stay.
