Objective To determine the effect of knee extension constraint training on bilateral knee biomechanics and bilateral symmetry in running after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR).Methods A total of 33 male patients with unilateral ACL injuries were randomly assigned to a BRACE group of 14 wearing a brace with limitation of knee extension,a PLACEBO group of 10 wear-ing a brace without limitation of knee extension,and a CONTROL group of 9,wearing no brace.All groups underwent unilateral hamstring-auto graft ACLR surgery,immediately followed by 12-week rou-tine rehabilitation.Between week 13 and 48,both the BRACE and PLACEBO groups wore braces for one hour on Mondays.Then,running biomechanical tests were performed at the ends of Week 12 and Week 48,and the bilateral knee extension/flexion angle,moment and inter-leg difference(ILD)were calculated.One-dimensional statistical parametric mapping(SPM1d)two-way ANOVA with repeated measures on one factor was used to identify differences in bilateral knee biomechanics and ILD among the three groups before and after the intervention.Results There was no significant interaction effect of group and time on bilateral knee flexion angle,knee extension moment,and ILD in running(P>0.05).Moreover,no significant effect of group was found on the bilateral knee biomechanics and ILD in running(P>0.05).Additionally,significant effects of time were observed on bilateral knee flexion angle and extension moment in running.However,bilateral knee flexion angle decreased during termi-nal stance(ACLR leg:89%~100%,P=0.036;non-ACLR leg:94%~100%,P=0.046),while the bi-lateral knee extension moment increased during mid-stance(ACLR leg:17%~59%,P<0.001;non-ACLR leg:38%~61%,P<0.001)between week 12 and 48.Conclusion In this study,no improvement was found in the abnormal knee biomechanics and symmetry during running in male patients after uni-lateral ACL reconstruction through long-term knee extension constraint training.Moreover,within one year after ACL reconstruction,the knee extension moment of the surgical limb increased gradually over time,with no changes in the knee flexion angle of the surgical limb and bilateral knee symme-try,suggesting that abnormal knee biomechanics and bilateral symmetry should be paid attention to in the post-surgery rehabilitation.

Objective? To investigate the incidence of post-stroke depression(PSD) and its risk factors, so as to provide the theoretical reference for the prevention of community PSD. Methods? A total of 300 stroke patients hospitalized in the department of neurology in the First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University from July 2016 to May 2017 were selected and assessed by Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS) and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) on their depression. The incidence of PSD was analyzed and after controlling the confounding factors, the relation between PSD and relevant influencing factors were indicated by the Odds Ratio(OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results? The incidence of PSD was 31.6% (95/300) in the 300 stroke patients. After controlling the confounding factors, it was found that marital status, occupational status, decreased activity ability, muscle strength, neurological impairment and diabetes were closely related to PSD (P<0.05). Conclusions? The prevalence of PSD is high and closely related to marital status, occupational status, decreased activity ability, muscle strength, neurological impairment and diabetes. Understanding the risk factors of PSD is necessary to provide intervention for the prevention and treatment of PSD, which has a certain effects in reducing PSD and improving the PSD patients' physical function.

Objective Gait analysis plays an important role in the description of the site and degree of injury in the lower limbs, and symmetry is an important indicator of gait characteristics. The aim of this study is to quantitatively describe gait information and its asymmetry in three-dimensional space, dig deeper into gait information and improve the analysis of abnormal gait characteristics.Methods The information about the change of coronal-sagittal plane angle in different parts was obtained based on the inertial gait sensor, and the gait space vector was inverted to build the movement curve and form a motion symmetry detection method based on three-dimensional space angle vector distance. The characteristics of normal subjects (control group) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture patients (patients group) were analyzed from July, 2017 to January, 2018, and its effectiveness was verified.Results There was a better discrimination effect in the calf, thigh and knee asymmetry, etc., between the control group and the patient group (P<0.05). The characteristics of the calf space motion vector were highest among the control group and the patient group, and the discrimination was relatively stable, and not various with gender, age, height or body mass index.Conclusion The time-coronal-sagittal vector diagrams of left and right limbs were obtained by inertial sensor and the average of the square of the Euclidean distances in space at the selected gait cycle time points was calculated in three-dimensional space, which could be used as a gait asymmetry analysis method.

Objective To identify the differences of three-dimensional knee kinematics of unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient patients with and without the meniscus injury.Methods A total of 39 subjects including unilateral isolate ACL-deficient patients (ACL group,n=13),ACL deficient patients combined with meniscus tear (ACL+M group,n=13) and healthy controls (C group,n=13) participated in this study.In the gait analysis,three-dimensional knee kinematic and kinetic parameters were collected synchronously and compared.Results The peak knee flexion angles were greater in the ACL+M group and C group compared with the ACL group (P=0.001,P=0.001),with no significant differences between the former two groups (P=0.847).Lower first peak vertical ground reaction force,peak posterior ground reaction force,sagittal plane knee excursions and peak knee extension moment were found in ACL-injured side compared with the contralateral side (P=0.001,P<0.001,P=0.006,P=0.001).Greater peak knee abduction moment was found in group ACL+M compared with both the ACL and C groups (P=0.045,P=0.014).However,no significant difference was observed between the ACL group and C group in peak knee abduction moment (P=0.616).Conclusions The altered loading in unilateral ACL deficient patients can lead to lower ground reaction force in injured knee and greater ground reaction force in the contralateral side,which may increase the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis.The greater internal knee abduction moment in ACL deficient patients combined with meniscus injury may be a risking factor for the knee osteoarthritis.
