Abstract：Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture combined with staged resistance training on scoliosis.Methods:A total of 112 patients with scoliosis admitted to Jiaozuo Longbai Rehabilitation Hospital were randomly divided into a combination group and a control group,with 56 cases in each group.The conventional group received routine treatment and phased resistance training,while the combined group received electroacupuncture combined with treatment based on the conventional treatment.The improvement of Cobb angle,paraspinal muscle electromyographic activity,and cardiopulmonary function recovery before and after treatment were compared between these two groups of patients.Results:The Cobb angle of the combined group after 1 week,2 weeks,and 1 month of treatment was lower than that of the conventional group;the time limit,amplitude,maximum force amplitude,and left ventricular diastolic diameter(LVDD)of the motor potential in the combined group were lower than those in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);the 6-minute walk test(6MWT),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),the ratio of FEV1 and forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)was higher than that of the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of electroacupuncture and phased resistance training could effectively improve the morphology and structure of scoliosis,paraspinal muscle electromyographic activity,and cardiovascular endurance.
