背景:强直性脊柱炎是慢性进行性疾病,这会降低包括胸部区域在内的肌肉骨骼系统的功能。这些变化会影响呼吸力学,恶化肺部适当通气的条件。
目的:强直性脊柱炎患者的功能和呼吸参数的评估以及它们之间的依赖性。
方法:本研究纳入45例诊断为强直性脊柱炎的患者。胸部和上肢活动能力,评估静息脊柱曲度对齐,和呼吸参数在体积描记术室JAGGERMasterScreenBody中测量。
结果:强直性脊柱炎患者的呼吸参数较低,尤其是sReff,FRC。还证明了胸部和上肢活动能力的限制。根据枕壁测试观察到头部向前延伸。显示了功能参数之间的相关性以及功能参数与呼吸参数之间的相关性。特别是MIP,MEP,sReff,Rtot,TLC,ERV.
结论:该研究证实,与适用标准相比,强直性脊柱炎患者的功能和呼吸参数下降。发现上半身功能参数与呼吸参数之间存在显着关系,随着胸腔功能障碍的增加而恶化。获得的结果表明应考虑的治疗方向,以改善这些患者的呼吸参数并减少呼吸功能障碍。集中于胸部的物理治疗似乎是改善强直性脊柱炎患者功能的重要因素。
BACKGROUND: Ankylosing spondylitis is chronic progressive disease, which decrease functions of musculoskeletal system including chest area. Those changes influences respiratory mechanics, worsen conditions of proper ventilation of lungs.
OBJECTIVE: Rating of functional and respiratory parameters and dependence between them at patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
METHODS: The study included 45 patients with diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis. Chest and upper limbs mobility, resting spinal curvature alignment were assessed, and respiratory parameters were measured in a plethysmographic chamber JAGGER MasterScreen Body.
RESULTS: Ankylosing spondylitis patients had lower respiratory parameters especially sReff, and FRC. Restriction of chest and upper limbs mobility was also demonstrated. Forward head extension was observed based on the occipital wall test. Correlations between functional parameters and correlations between functional and respiratory parameters were shown, in particular MIP, MEP, sReff, Rtot, TLC, ERV.
CONCLUSIONS: The study confirmed a decrease in functional and respiratory parameters in the examined patients with ankylosing spondylitis compared to the applicable standards. A significant relationship was found between functional parameters in the upper body and respiratory parameters, which worsen with increasing thoracic dysfunction. The obtained results indicate the directions of therapy that should be taken into account to improve respiratory parameters and reduce respiratory dysfunction in these patients. Chest-focused physiotherapy appears to be an important element in improving function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
