The Clinical Effect Of Ankle Pump Exercises On Lower Limb Edema And Life Quality For Patients With Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Objective:To apply the ankle pump exercises to patients with chronic venous insufficiency,and investigate the clinical effect on lower limb edema,life quality,sleep quality and emotion.Methods: 62 inpatients with chronic venous insufficiency admitting between May,2018 and Sep,2018 from vascular surgery department were selected.The patients were divided into control group and experimental group by admission sequence.The control group used routine drug therapy and nursing intervention without ankle pump exercises.The experimental group adopted ankle pump exercises based on routine drug therapy and nursing intervention.The ankle pump exercises were repeated three times in morning,noon and evening,50 units were conducted once time for 6 days.Parameters of lower limb's perimeter,life quality,sleep quality and emotion were collected before and after the invention.Results:A total of 59 patients completed the study,29 objects were in experimental group and 30 objects were in control group.Compared with control group,the indexes of lower limb's perimeter for experimental group were all decreased,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of all factors of life quality in the experimental group were significantly improved(P<0.05),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).All factors of PSQI scale and total score in the experimental group were not significantly decreased(P>0.05).The score of positive emotional factor for experimental group was increased from(25.6±3.0)to(32.0±3.3)(P<0.05),and the score of negative emotional factor was decreased from(19.1± 2.8)to(15.8±2.3),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion: The implementation of standard ankle pump exercises can significantly improve lower limb edema,increase life quality and sleep quality,promote positive emotion and decrease negative emotion.
