Abstract

We aim to investigate whether a popular hand exercise could be used to improve the action of eating in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A 6-month intervention was conducted in 60 patients with AD who live in a nursing home. They were divided into hand exercise and control groups. Patients of the control group maintained their daily routine. The improvement of Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale in hand exercise group was significantly greater than in the control group ( P = .003). Significant differences in time of autonomous eating and time of simulated eating between patients in the hand exercise and control groups ( P < .05) were noted. The improvements in accuracy of eating action and coordination of eating action from baseline were significant in hand exercise group compared to the control group ( P = .020 and .014, respectively). Hand exercise is a safe and effective intervention to improve the feeding and eating of people with AD.

手部运动对阿尔茨海默病患者进食动作的影响

我们的目的是研究一种流行的手部运动是否可用于改善阿尔茨海默病患者（AD）的进食动作。我们对 60 名住在疗养院的阿尔茨海默病患者进行了为期 6 个月的干预。他们被分为手部运动组和对照组。对照组患者保持日常生活规律。手部锻炼组在爱丁堡痴呆症喂养评估量表中的改善程度明显高于对照组（P = .003）。手部运动组和对照组患者在自主进食时间和模拟进食时间上存在显著差异 ( P < .05)。与对照组相比，手部运动组患者进食动作的准确性和协调性较基线有显著改善（P = .020 和 .014）。手部运动是一种安全有效的干预措施，可改善注意力缺失症患者的进食情况。
