This study explored the effects of Qigong exercises on upper extremity muscle activity, balance function, and quality of life in stroke patients.
A total of 30 stroke patients were randomly allocated to either control group or Qigong group. In the Qigong group, participants completed an intervention of Qigong Baduanjin over 8 weeks. Data on the electromyographic activities of the biceps brachii muscle, triceps brachii muscle, and muscle coordination were obtained using surface electromyography and the co-contraction ratio (CCR). Data on balance were obtained using the PK254P balance function detection system. Quality of life was measured using the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life scale.
The results for the Qigong group showed a significant difference in CCR of the triceps brachii muscle ( < 0.01). Concerning balance (assessed using the open-eye test), there was a significant decrease ( < 0.05) in Y-axis trajectory deviations and the Y-axis speed in the Qigong group. In the closed-eye test, the peripheral area of the Qigong group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed in physical health ( < 0.05), psychological health ( < 0.01), environment ( < 0.01), and the total scores for quality of life ( < 0.01) in the Qigong group.
We conclude that Qigong exercises improve the quality of life in stroke patients and have positive effects on the coordination of limb extremities and balance function.
本研究探讨了气功练习对中风患者上肢肌肉活动、平衡功能和生活质量的影响。
总共30名中风患者被随机分配到对照组或气功组。在气功组中，参与者在8周内完成了八段锦气功干预。使用表面肌电图和共同收缩率（CCR）获得肱二头肌、肱三头肌的肌电活动和肌肉协调性数据。使用PK254P平衡功能检测系统获得平衡数据。使用世界卫生组织生活质量量表简版测量生活质量。
气功组的结果显示肱三头肌的CCR有显著差异（<0.01）。关于平衡（使用睁眼测试评估），气功组的Y轴轨迹偏差和Y轴速度有显著降低（<0.05）。在闭眼测试中，气功组的外周面积显著低于对照组（<0.05）。气功组在身体健康（<0.05）、心理健康（<0.01）、环境（<0.01）和生活质量总分（<0.01）方面也观察到显著差异。
我们得出结论，气功练习可改善中风患者的生活质量，并对肢体协调性和平衡功能有积极影响。
