Abstract:
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of extracorporeal shock wave combined with resistance training in elderly patients with primary sarcopenia.Methods A total of 90 elderly patients with primary sarcopenia were selected as research objects.All patients were numbered according to their admission numbers,corresponding to the numbers on the random number table one by one.Those with the corresponding numbers of even number at the end of the random number were assigned to control group(n=45,receiving resistance training),while the remaining were assigned to observation group(n=45,receiving extracorporeal shock wave besides the same treatment as control group).The changes of parameters measured by ultrasonic instruments in the two groups were analyzed.Results After 3 months of treatment,compared with control group,observation group had thicker muscle thickness,larger pennate angle,longer muscle bundle,larger Young's modulus in relaxation state and contraction state,and higher ASMI value(all P<0.05).In the observation group,ASMI value was positively correlated with muscle thickness,pennate angle,muscle bundle length and Young's modulus(relaxation state,contraction state)(r=0.361,0.339,0.378,0.353,0.398,respectively;P=0.015,0.023,0.010,0.017,0.007,respectively).Conclusion The combined treatment of extracorporeal shock wave and resistance training is feasible,and the imaging indicators of ultrasonic detection can be used as feasible indicators to assess the recovery of patients with sarcopenia.
