To assess the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs)on balance ability of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
43 eligible patients were randomly divided into experimental (n = 24) and control (n = 19) groups. Patients in both groups received conventional drug therapy. Meanwhile, patients in the experimental group were given PEMFs once a day for 30 days.
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores increased and the timed upand to test (TUG) scores, sway index (forward-backward), rectangle area and sway path decreased in the patients in the experimental group (P < 0.05). In the patients in the control group, only changes in BBS scores and sway path were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The decrease of sway index (forward-backward) in the experimental group was greater than that of the control group (P < 0 01).
PEMFs can improve the balance ability of patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis.
评估脉冲电磁场(PEMFs)对绝经后骨质疏松症女性平衡能力的影响。
43例符合条件的患者被随机分为实验组(n = 24)和对照组(n = 19)。两组患者均接受常规药物治疗。同时,实验组患者每天接受一次脉冲电磁场治疗,共30天。
实验组患者的伯格平衡量表(BBS)评分升高,计时起立行走测试(TUG)评分、前后摇摆指数、矩形面积和摇摆路径降低(P < 0.05)。对照组患者仅BBS评分和摇摆路径的变化具有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。实验组前后摇摆指数的降低幅度大于对照组(P < 0.01)。
脉冲电磁场可改善绝经后骨质疏松症患者的平衡能力。
