Dance combined with magnetic pulse stimulates the ability of walk and balance in elder people.

OBJECTIVE: Observe the treatment effect on elderly people's waling and balance ability under the stimulation and intervention of waving dance combined with magnetic pulse.
METHOD: 96 elderly people are Involved in the research and the random number table method is divided into observation group and control group; there are 48 people in each group. The control group on the basis of routine daily activities increase waving dance for training treatment; the observation group take training treatment together with the control group, plus magnetic pulse for stimulation treatment. Inspection and control shall be made to relevant indicators of subject's walk and balance ability at the time when they are selected and after they go through 6-month treatment. RESULT: after 6-month treatment, we found that indicators of walk and balance ability of these two groups of patients have been improved to different extent compared to those indicators when selected (all P<0.05). While the observation group have more significant improvement effect when compared to the improvement effect made by the contract group. Most of indicators are obviously superior to that of the control group (P<0.05). The differences have statistics significance.
CONCLUSION: waving dance could obviously improve elderly people's walk and balance ability, and the improvement effect could be ever more significant when combined treatment with magnetic pulse stimulation. Such effect is obviously better than the effect improved only by waving dance.
