A controlled study of 39 consecutively-admitted patients with ankylosing spondylitis was conducted to assess the effects of daily passive stretching of the hip joints during a 3-week in-patient physiotherapy course. Measurements were performed by an independent assessor on admission, at discharge and six months after discharge. Results showed that passive stretching resulted in a significant increase in the range of all movements of the hip joints except flexion during the physiotherapy course. Follow-up at 6 months in seven patients suggested that this increase in range of movement could be maintained by patients who had been performing the stretching exercises regularly. We suggest that the inclusion of passive stretching of the hip joint in the treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis will increase the range of movement and thus improve function and influence posture.
对39例连续入院的强直性脊柱炎患者进行了一项对照研究，以评估在为期3周的住院物理治疗过程中，每日对髋关节进行被动拉伸的效果。由一名独立评估人员在入院时、出院时和出院后6个月进行测量。结果显示，在物理治疗过程中，被动拉伸使髋关节除屈曲外的所有运动范围都有显著增加。对7例患者的6个月随访表明，定期进行拉伸锻炼的患者能够维持这种运动范围的增加。我们建议，在强直性脊柱炎患者的治疗中加入髋关节被动拉伸，将增加运动范围，从而改善功能并影响姿势。
