Introduction In China, the proportion of the elderly population is gradually increasing, followed by the increasing medical demands of elderly patients. Hip fracture is a common fracture in the elderly. The elderly are prone to serious postoperative complications, resulting in failure to restore normal hip function, which seriously affects patients’ quality of life and further increases their mortality rate. Thus, hip fracture represents a remarkable public health issue within the realm of geriatric medical care. Significance This study systematically evaluated the impact of comprehensive rehabilitation training, with a focus on balance function, on elderly individuals with hip fractures’ postoperative recovery and functional outcomes. Result Results showed a significant difference in BBS scores favoring comprehensive rehabilitation training based on balance function over conventional intervention. Similarly, AM-PAC scores favored the balance-focused training. TUTG meta-analysis indicated its adoption in comprehensive rehabilitation training. FIM scores showed improvement with balance-focused training. Harris score meta-analysis also favored this approach. A funnel plot analysis revealed potential publication bias, likely due to study heterogeneity and limited publications. Conclusions In conclusion, comprehensive rehabilitation training centered around balance function displayed clinical efficacy in enhancing postoperative hip joint function in elderly hip fracture patients. This approach improved balance, coordination, and posture control, facilitating lower limb function recovery and overall prognosis. It holds promise as a valuable treatment approach.

Objective:To observe any effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on patients with moderate to severe breast cancer-associated lymphedema (BCAL) with skin fibrosis and upper limb symptoms receiving complex decongestive therapy (CDT).Methods:Forty patients with moderate to severe breast cancer-associated lymphedema were randomly divided into an ESWT+ CDT group and a CDT group, each of 20. Both groups received manual lymph drainage, 5 times per week for 4 weeks with short elastic bandages or compression cuffs. The ESWT+ CDT group was additionally provided ESWT (2.0 bar, 5 Hz, 2500 pulses) twice a week for 4 weeks. Limb swelling, skin fibrosis and symptoms of lymphedema were assessed using the circumference measurement method, modified Rodnan skin scores (mRSSs), and the Breast Cancer and Lymphedema Symptoms Experience Index (BCLE-SEI) before the treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks.Results:After 2 weeks the limb volume, skin sclerosis and lymphedema symptoms of both groups had improved significantly, with the average limb volume, mRSS score and BCLE-SEI score of the ESWT+ CDT group significantly better than those of the CDT group. After 4 weeks of treatment, the limb volume, skin sclerosis and lymphedema symptoms further improved in both groups with the ESWT+ CDT group again showing significantly greater improvement.Conclusion:ESWT can further accelerate the recovery of patients with lymphatic edema after breast cancer surgery receiving CDT therapy, correct the cycle of skin fibrosis and lymphedema, and relieve complications such as limb pain. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of rehabilitation training combined with functional electrical stimulation in the treatment of foot drop caused by stroke. Method 132 cases of patients with foot drop caused by stroke were selected form January 2015 to January 2017 as the research object, randomly divided into two groups, control group with routine rehabilitation training treatment, observation group with rehabilitation training and functional electrical stimulation treatment. The clinical efficacy and other indicators of the two groups were compared. Result After treatment, the total effective rate of observation group was 90.91%, control group was 71.21%, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The score of FMA and BBS, Step Test time and 10mMWS of observation group respectively were (33.48±4.92) points, (41.39±6.22) points, (18.35±3.82) s, (58.12±9.41) m/min, the control group, respectively were (29.35±5.40) points, (36.95±6.80) points, (22.34±3.95) s, (51.03±10.22) m/min, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation training combined with functional electrical stimulation can significantly improve clinical curative effect in patients with foot drop caused by stroke, and can significantly improve patients with lower limb motor function, balance function and walking function.
