We aimed to investigate the effects of body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) on cardio-pulmonary functions and on depression in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Eight subjects (2 female, 6 male) with incomplete SCI participated in this study. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and resting pulmonary function parameters were obtained from each subject at baseline and after BWSTT. The training programme was scheduled five times per week for six weeks. The psychological status was evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The post-BWSTT HR value was lower than the pre-training HR value (p< 0.05). In comparison of pre- and post-BWSTT pulmonary parameters, there were only significant improvement in FVC and IC (p< 0.05). The mean BDI score was lower after BWSTT compared to before BWSTT value. As a conclusion, 6 weeks BWSTT had positive effect on heart rate and limited effect on pulmonary functions. There was an improvement in depression level of the SCI subjects.
我们旨在研究减重平板训练（BWSTT）对不完全性脊髓损伤（SCI）患者心肺功能及抑郁状况的影响。八名不完全性SCI患者（2名女性，6名男性）参与了本研究。在基线期及BWSTT训练后，获取每位受试者的心率（HR）、血压（BP）及静息肺功能参数。训练计划为每周五次，共六周。采用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）评估心理状态。BWSTT训练后的HR值低于训练前（p<0.05）。比较BWSTT训练前后的肺功能参数，仅用力肺活量（FVC）和吸气量（IC）有显著改善（p<0.05）。与BWSTT训练前相比，训练后的BDI平均得分降低。结论是，为期6周的BWSTT训练对心率有积极影响，对肺功能的影响有限。SCI患者的抑郁水平有所改善。
