Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of core stability training on rehabilitation of patients after lumbar fusion.
MethodsFrom June 2018 to December 2019, 90 patients with lumbar fusion admitted to Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into control group and training group according to the method of random number table, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing, while the training group carried out postoperative core stability training nursing. The rehabilitation effects of the two groups were observed.
ResultsThe scores of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in the training group were lower than those in the control group at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks postoperatively, and the difference were statistical (P<0.05) . The scores of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in the training group 12 and 24 weeks after operation were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe core stability training nursing is helpful to improve the functional recovery after lumbar fusion, reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and then increase the rehabilitation effect of patients.
