Objective:To explore the effect of Baduanjin on gait parameters and serum nerve growth factor in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with freezing of gait(FOG).Methods:From December 2021 to December 2022, thirty-eight PD patients with FOG who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into observation group ( n=18) and control group ( n=20) by random number table.The patients in both two groups received 4 weeks of drug therapy combined with basic rehabilitation treatment respectively, and the patients in observation group received additional Baduanjin training.Efficacy was evaluated 1 day before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention through unified Parkinson's disease rating scale-Ⅱ(UPDRS-Ⅱ) item 14, freezing of gait questionnaire (FOGQ), gait starting time, gait cycle, stride length, dynamic plantar peak pressure and average pressure, while the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) in peripheral blood of patients were tested.SPSS 23.0 software was used to conduct Chi-square test, paired t-test, independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in score of UPDRS-Ⅱ item 14, FOGQ score, gait starting time, gait cycle, stride length, dynamic planar peak pressure, average pressure, peripheral blood BDNF level and GDNF level between the two groups ( t=-0.542, 0.562, 0.490, 0.674, 0.440, 0.606, -0.835, -0.873, -0.250, all P>0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, dynamic plantar peak pressure (control group (14.26±3.23) N/cm 2, observation group (11.40±4.13) N/cm 2, t=-2.389, P=0.022) and plantar average pressure (control group (3.34±0.72) N/cm 2, observation group (2.79±0.81) N/cm 2, t=-2.209, P=0.034) of the observation group were significantly decreased (both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in UPDRS-Ⅱ item 14, FOGQ score, gait starting time, gait cycle, stride length, BDNF and GDNF concentrations in peripheral blood between the two groups after treatment (all P>0.05). The difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment of FOGQ score (control group 1.00 (0.00, 1.00) , observation group 2.00 (0.75, 3.00), Z=-2.547, P=0.011), gait starting time (control group -1.04 (-1.86, -0.47)s, observation group -2.34 (-3.41, -1.03) s, Z=-2.280, P=0.023), gait cycle (control group 0.29 (0.08, 0.58)s, observation group 0.35 (0.16, 1.00) s, Z=-2.748, P=0.006), stride length(control group 0.19 (0.14, 0.24) m, observation group 0.26 (0.23, 0.38)m, Z=-1.360, P=0.005), the dynamic plantar peak pressure (control group -4.11 (-5.87, -2.57) N/cm 2, observation group -8.44 (-10.12, -4.81) N/cm 2, Z=-3.333, P=0.001) and average pressure (control group -0.55 (-1.00, -0.03) N/cm 2, observation group -1.11 (-1.51, -0.66) N/cm 2, Z=-2.062, P=0.009) in the observation group were better than those in the control group.After treatment, the BDNF level in peripheral blood in observation group was higher than before treatment( t=-2.315, P=0.033). Conclusion:Baduanjin can improve frozen gait score and gait parameters in PD patients with FOG, which may be related to the increase of peripheral blood BDNF.
