By reviewing and analyzing the domestic and international rehabilitation medicine education, we try to forecast the development of rehabilitation medicine of Sichuan, and moreover, to summarize and analyze the problems and difficulties of rehabilitation medicine education in this province. Then, we put forward the development countermeasures of Sichuan rehabilitation medicine education from the aspect of talent training object and mode, in order to gradually establish and improve a rehabilitation medicine education system that can adapt to the training requirements of modern medicine, to cultivate talents of rehabilitation medicine suitable for national construction needs at every level, and to improve the overall quality of Sichuan rehabilitation medicine education and build a medical rehabilitation highland in West China.
In recent years, regenerative medical technology and modern rehabilitation technology complement each other and develop rapidly. Regenerative rehabilitation with tissue regeneration and functional recovery as the core concept arises at the historic moment. Regenerative rehabilitation can quickly repair damaged or diseased tissues and organs, and restore or improve the function of patients to the greatest extent. This paper introduces the origin and development of regenerative rehabilitation, discusses the research progress and significance of related strategies from three aspects of neurological, motor and circulatory diseases, and stress the importance of regenerative rehabilitation in helping patients to obtain the best curative effect.
Industrial rehabilitation is a new concept that primarily encompasses four aspects: medical industrial rehabilitation, educational industrial rehabilitation, disability industrial rehabilitation, and rehabilitation engineering industry. The development of industrial rehabilitation in China is rapid, presenting numerous opportunities while also facing significant challenges. However, to date, no scholars have summarized the definition, current status, challenges, and opportunities of industrial rehabilitation, which hinders its development in China. This paper summarizes the development status of the four aspects mentioned above, analyzes the challenges and opportunities faced, and provides suggestions for development, offering a reference for the advancement of industrial rehabilitation in China.
With the acceleration of the aging in the world and our society, osteoarthritis has become a health concern for patients and health workers. At present, its treatment mainly relies on drug treatment, surgical treatment and rehabilitation. As a safe, non-invasive and simple treatment, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy has been used in clinical treatment of osteoporosis, promoting fracture healing and improving symptoms of osteoarthritis. However, the mechanism of PEMF in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis is still unclear. This paper reviews the effects of PEMF on apoptosis, cytokines, cartilage and subchondral bone in knee osteoarthritis in animal experiments, and the changes of chondrocyte morphology and extracellular matrix in cell experiments, aiming to enable medical workers to better understand the status and development of PEMF in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in basic experimental researches.
In recent years, the development of artificial shoulder arthroplasty has been rapid, but postoperative patients often have problems such as joint swelling, pain, activity limitation, muscle strength decline and various complications, which need to be accompanied by standardized and correct rehabilitation treatment. In this paper, we review the postoperative rehabilitation treatment program of artificial shoulder arthroplasty, the selection of the timing of rehabilitation treatment, the continuity treatment of rehabilitation and the rehabilitation strategies to improve the clinical efficacy in the postoperative period, with a view to providing reference and basis for the development of a reasonable rehabilitation program for postoperative patients.
Objective To review the up-to-date development of overseas cl inical study on exercise therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods The cl inical researches of exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis were summarized by reviewing l iterature concerned in recent years. Results Exercise therapy was extensively used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis not only in hospital but also in community rehabil itation abroad. The main patterns of exercise therapy included muscle strengthening exercise, aerobic exercise and underwater exercise. It was capable of effectively improving patient’s independent l iving abil ity and l ive qual ity, and postproning the time of surgical intervention. But the long-term efficacy of exercise therapy was still under debate. Conclusion Exercise therapy is an effect method to treat knee osteoarthritis.
