Objective To investigate the effect of closed-chain exercise training on hemiplegic shoulder pain and shoulder joint sta-bility in stroke patients,and to explore the relationship between hemiplegic shoulder pain and shoulder joint sta-bility.Methods A total of 52 stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain in Jiangsu Province Hospital from October,2020 to January,2023 were selected,and were randomly divided into control group(n=26)and experimental group(n=26).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy,while the experimental group additionally under-went closed-chain exercise training for shoulder joint.Pain severity and motor function were assessed using Visu-al Analog Scale(VAS)and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE)before and after intervention.Musculoskeletal ultrasound was used to measure acromion-greater tuberosity distance(AGT),acromion-lesser tu-berosity distance(ALT),acromiohumeral distance(AHD)and supraspinatus thickness(SST)to evaluate shoulder joint stability.Correlation analysis was conducted on the improvements in shoulder pain and shoulder joint stabil-ity in the experimental group.Results Two cases in the control group and two in the experimental group dropped down.Both groups showed signifi-cant improvements in VAS and FMA-UE scores after intervention(|t|>5.214,P<0.001),and the scores im-proved more in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.087,P<0.05).The experimental group also showed significant improvements in AGT,ALT,AHD and SST(|t|>4.187,P<0.001),with AGT,ALT and AHD being superior to those in the control group(|t|>2.155,P<0.05).The difference of VAS score in the exper-imental group was correlated with the difference of FMA-UE,AGT and ALT after intervention(r>0.434,P<0.05).Conclusion Closed-chain shoulder exercise training can significantly improve shoulder joint stability while alleviating shoulder pain,and effectively enhancing upper limb function in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain.Hemiplegic shoulder pain is correlated with shoulder joint stability.

Objective:To explore the effect of pathway nursing under multidisciplinary collaboration on self-care ability and rehabilitation effect in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 294 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were admitted to the Department of Neurology in the Fengcheng Hospital, Fengxian District, Shanghai from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. A total of 147 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted from January to December 2019 were included in the experimental group, while 147 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted from January to December 2018 were included in the control group. The experimental group adopted pathway nursing under multidisciplinary collaboration, while the control group adopted neurology routine nursing. Scores of Exercise of Self-Care Agency (ESCA) , National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) , Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) , Barthel Index and nursing satisfaction of patients were compared between the two groups. Finally, 147 patients in the experimental group and 145 patients in the control group completed the experiment.Results:The scores of self-concept, self-responsibility, health knowledge level and self-care skills in ESCA of patients in the experimental group at discharge were respectively (25.36±4.86) , (20.43±3.21) , (53.37±5.89) and (40.02±3.78) and the nursing satisfaction score was (97.26±2.52) , which were higher than (21.48±4.33) , (16.24±3.25) , (46.44±5.47) , (30.08±3.81) and (90.65±3.16) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The NIHSS score of the experimental group 60 days after discharge was (3.7±2.2) , lower than (6.9±2.3) of the control group. And FMA and Barthel Index scores were respectively (79.3±9.2) and (78.7±14.5) , higher than (65.6±8.4) and (60.3±16.6) of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The implementation of pathway nursing under multidisciplinary collaboration for patients with acute cerebral infarction can enhance the consciousness of self-management, contribute to the recovery of neurological function and limb motor function and improve the ability of self-care and nursing satisfaction of patients.
