简要总结
PURPOSE: to assess the efficacy of Qigong exercise on bone mineral density in post-burned patient.
BACKGROUND: During severe burns, more than 7% of the vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) is lost within 3-6 weeks of the injury and about 3% of the total body bone content is lost during the first 6 months after the injury.
Qigong exercise has been shown to be effective at attenuating declines in BMD and improving both balance performance and balance confidence in healthy middle-aged and older adults.
There are lack in knowledge and information in published studies about the efficacy of Qigong exercise on bone mineral density in post-burned patient.
So, this study will be designed to provide a guideline about the efficacy of Qigong exercise on bone mineral density in post-burned patient.
HYPOTHESES:
It will be hypothesized that:
It was hypothesized that Qigong exercise has no or limited effect in bone mineral density in post-burned patient.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does Qigong exercise an effect on bone mineral density in post-burned patient?
详细描述
- Measurement procedure:
Bone density measurement was conducted before the first session and after two months of treatment.
The test worked by measuring a specific bone or bones, usually the spine, hip and wrist. The density of these bones was then compared with an average index based on age, sex and size. The resulting comparison is used to determine risk for fractures and the stage of osteoporosis in an individual.
Average bone mineral density = BMC/W (g/cm²).
- BMC = bone mineral content = g/cm.
- W = width at the scanned line. Data was graded according to Z score.
Z-score:

结局指标
主要结局
Bone density measurement
时间窗: change in bone mineral density calculated at 8 weeks post treatment minus baseline.
The test worked by measuring a specific bone or bones, usually the spine, hip and wrist. The density of these bones was then compared with an average index based on age, sex and size. The resulting comparison is used to determine risk for fractures and the stage of osteoporosis in an individual.
