Abstract

Introduction. To investigate the efficacy of biofeedback abdominal muscles training on the bladder control and the quality of life in paraplegic patients. Methods. overall, 60 male and female paraplegic patients aged 20–40 years were randomly divided into 2 groups. The patients in the study group were treated with abdominal muscles biofeedback strength training, and the control group received pelvic floor biofeedback strength training 2 times per week. The subjects in both groups were evaluated before and after the treatment by (1) measuring post-void urine residual volume, (2) overactive bladder questionnaire, the Arabic version. Results. There was a significant difference between the 2 groups. in the study group, the urine residual volume decreased to the normal range and the quality of life questionnaire score decreased, which showed good improvement. in the control group, there was no significant difference, with minimal changes: the urine residual volume was still high and the quality of life questionnaire score remained high. Conclusions. Abdominal muscles biofeedback training must be a main point in the bladder rehabilitation program for paraplegic patients as it decreases the urine residual volume and optimizes quality of life.

腹肌肌电生物反馈训练对截瘫脊髓损伤患者膀胱功能的影响

介绍。目的探讨生物反馈腹肌训练对截瘫患者膀胱控制及生活质量的影响。方法。60例20 ~ 40岁的男性和女性截瘫患者随机分为两组。研究组患者采用腹肌生物反馈力量训练，对照组患者采用盆底生物反馈力量训练，每周2次。两组患者在治疗前后分别采用(1)空后尿残留量测定，(2)膀胱过动问卷(阿拉伯语)进行评估。结果。两组间有显著性差异。研究组残尿量降至正常范围，生活质量问卷得分下降，均有较好的改善。对照组无显著性差异，变化很小，尿残留量仍较高，生活质量问卷得分仍较高。结论。腹肌生物反馈训练必须是截瘫患者膀胱康复计划的重点，因为它可以减少尿残留量并优化生活质量。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Quarterly ISSN 2544-4395 (formerly Fizjoterapia ISSN 1230-8323) is an international scientific peer-reviewed journal, published in both paper and electronic format by the University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw, Poland. The original version of the journal is its paper issue. The Editorial Office accepts original papers on various aspects of physiotherapy and rehabilitation for publication. Manuscripts in basic science and clinical physiotherapy science are published at the highest priority. Letters to the Editor, reports from scientific meetings and book reviews are also considered. Physiotherapy Quarterly publishes papers that show depth, rigor, originality and high-quality presentation. The scope of the journal: evidence-based rehabilitation; the mechanisms of function or dysfunction; modern therapy methods; best clinical practice; clinical reasoning and decision-making processes; assessment and clinical management of disorders; exploration of relevant clinical interventions; multi-modal approaches; psychosocial issues; expectations, experiences, and perspectives of physiotherapists. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research articles are welcomed, together with systematic and high-quality narrative reviews.
