Abstract

Objective: To study some related factors of effect on gluteus muscle contraction and provide the therapeutic basis.

Methods: The curative effect was assessed in 154 patients who were classified by age, patient's condition, orthopedic degree in operation and rehabilitation with an average follow-up period of 25 months(ranging from 5 to 36 months).

Results: The excellent rate of 18-24 years old (25/30) was lower than that of 5-17 years old(120/124) (P < 0.05); the excellent rate of slight patients was higher (107/109) than that of serious patients (38/45) (P < 0.01); the excellent rate from higher orthopedic degree was higher (111/113) than that from lower orthopedic degree (34/41) (P < 0.01); and the excellent rate of rehabilitation was much higher (107/110) than that of general treatment (38/44) (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Age, patient's condition, orthopedic degree in operation and rehabilitation are important factors to affect the curative effect on gluteu muscle contraction.
