[0088] Cervical and lumbar muscle fatigue recovery efficacy test

[0089] 1. Test parts and actions

[0090] The eight muscles related to the cervical and lumbar muscle fatigue test were determined: the upper, middle and lower bundles of the left and right trapezius muscles and the erector spinae muscles; the "flying swallow" action was used as the test action for the surface electromyography detection of cervical and lumbar muscle fatigue of the subjects. Since it is difficult for the eight muscles tested by each person to reach a fatigue state at the same time, it was finally determined that the data analysis was conducted on each muscle instead of the person as a unit.

[0091] 2. Test indicators

[0092] The surface electromyography test indicators are RMS (root mean square), IEMG (integrated electromyography), MPF (mean power frequency), and MDF (median frequency).

[0093] Among them, the RMS and IEMG values ​​were decreased, and the MPF and MDF values ​​were increased, which indicated that the measured muscles were fatigued;

[0094] On the contrary, RMS and IEMG values ​​increased, and MPF and MDF values ​​decreased, indicating that muscle fatigue had recovered.

[0095] 3. Preliminary test

[0096] (1) Training. Provide training on surface electromyography (SEM) testing equipment to project team members, requiring each person participating in the test operation to be proficient in the use of SEM testing equipment, the location of electrode patches, and the analysis of SEM test data;

[0097] (2) Optimize the process. According to the process designed by the project team, 28 volunteers were trained in the cervical and lumbar muscle fatigue recovery test. They were taught to master the entire test process, fill out the subject questionnaire in a standardized manner, and learn the essentials of the "Flying Swallow" action. Based on the results of the preliminary test, the test plan was fine-tuned to simplify the test process.

[0098] 4. The experiment is divided into four groups: blank control group, kinesio patch therapy recovery group, hot salt pack therapy recovery group and aromatherapy recovery group. The subjects tested on the same day were randomly divided into four groups and different recovery methods were adopted. For example: 15 subjects were tested on the same day, and the project team will randomly use different recovery methods. Under the treatment method of each group: Blank control group: no treatment. Kinesio patch therapy recovery group: Use the kinesio patch of comparative example 1 for application. Hot salt pack therapy recovery group: Use the hot salt pack of comparative example 2 for treatment. Aromatherapy recovery group: Use the ointment of the aromatic essential oil composition of Example 5 for application. Application principles: ① Keep the skin clean; ② The amount of ointment used each time does not exceed 10g; ③ Stay at the application site for at least 6h after use; ④ If itching occurs, wash the application site with clean water.

[0135] 6. Test Results

[0136] 1. Comparison of the effects of recovery methods on different subjects

[0137] 1. Subjective questionnaire evaluation.

[0138] (1) Subjective Questionnaire: The subjective questionnaire mainly evaluates the testers' preference for the recovery method and their feelings about the recovery method. The feelings evaluation includes four dimensions: effectiveness, comfort, convenience, and overall evaluation. The evaluation is based on a 10-point system, namely: very good: 8-10; good: 5-7; average: 1-4. See Table 1.

[0139] Table 1: Subjective questionnaire scores

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] Note: The effectiveness, comfort, convenience and overall evaluation in the table are the average evaluation results of the three recovery methods by the subjects participating in the experiment; the preference is the percentage of the number of people who like a certain recovery method to the total number of test subjects.

[0143] (2) Results Analysis

[0144] ①Comparative analysis of the evaluation effects of the three recovery methods by the subjects with different completion rates.

[0145] The subjects who completed the experiment evaluated the effectiveness, comfort, and convenience of the three recovery methods. They also made an overall evaluation of the three recovery methods, and the evaluation results were statistically analyzed: in terms of effectiveness: aromatherapy > hot salt pack therapy > kinesio patch therapy; in terms of comfort: aromatherapy > hot salt pack therapy > kinesio patch therapy; in terms of convenience: kinesio patch therapy > hot salt pack therapy > aromatherapy; overall evaluation: aromatherapy > hot salt pack therapy > kinesio patch therapy. Figure 1 .

[0146] 2. Objective test evaluation

[0147] Based on the surface electromyography test indicators and test indicator analysis methods determined in the early stage, as well as the skin temperature test values, the subjects who suffer from neck and lumbar muscle fatigue after work are screened out and fatigue recovery is carried out.

[0148] (1) Overall situation

[0149] 28 people participated in the experiment, 16 people completed all the experiments, each person tested 8 muscles, and after several days of testing, a total of 512 muscles were tested, and 111 muscles were fatigued and recovered. Among them, 21 fatigued muscles were recovered by blank control recovery method; 39 fatigued muscles were recovered by aromatherapy; 25 fatigued muscles were recovered by hot salt pack therapy; and 26 fatigued muscles were recovered by kinesio patch therapy. The surface electromyography index of each recovery method was averaged and analyzed. See Table 3.

[0150] (2) Results Analysis

[0151] Each fatigued muscle has a different degree of fatigue before recovery, so the project team conducted a recovery test on each fatigued muscle and compared the percentage of the recovery value to the fatigue value. The result showed that the recovery effect of aromatherapy was higher than that of kinesio patch therapy and hot salt pack therapy, which was consistent with the subjective questionnaire. The analysis results are shown in Table 3.

[0152] Table 3: Percentage of recovery value / fatigue value of surface electromyography test indicators with different recovery methods

[0153]

[0154] Note: RMS and IEMG: fatigue value = pre-work test - post-work test; recovery value = recovery test - post-work test;

[0155] MDF and MPF: fatigue value = post-work test - pre-work test; recovery value = post-work test - recovery test;

[0156] Recovery effect = recovery value / fatigue value * 100%.

[0157] As can be seen from the table above, different recovery methods have different effects on the subjects: Kinesio patch has the worst recovery effect. The ranking of the blank control recovery method and the other three recovery methods is: aromatherapy > blank control recovery method > hot salt pack therapy > Kinesio patch therapy (see Figure 2 ).

[0158] (II) The proportion of recovery after 8h and 13h in four different recovery methods (including blank control)

[0159] 28 people participated in the experiment, 16 people completed all the experiments, each person tested 8 muscles, a total of 512 muscles were tested, including 172 fatigued muscles and 111 recovered muscles, of which 26 muscles recovered in 8 hours and 85 muscles recovered in 13 hours. Among the muscles that recovered in 8 hours, 4 fatigued muscles were recovered by the blank control recovery method; 12 fatigued muscles were recovered by aromatherapy; 9 fatigued muscles were recovered by hot salt pack therapy; and 1 fatigued muscle was recovered by Kinesio patch therapy. Among the muscles that recovered in 13 hours, 17 fatigued muscles were recovered by the blank control recovery method; 27 fatigued muscles were recovered by aromatherapy; 16 fatigued muscles were recovered by hot salt pack therapy; and 25 fatigued muscles were recovered by Kinesio patch therapy. See Figure 3 .

[0160] (III) Experimental conclusion

[0161] (1) Through statistical analysis of the subjective and objective test data of the test subjects, it was found that aromatherapy has received high recognition in terms of effectiveness, comfort, convenience and overall evaluation. Aromatherapy is more convenient than the other two recovery methods. While restoring fatigue of the cervical and lumbar muscles, it can stimulate the brain's limbic system through the aroma smell pathway, thereby reducing stress psychologically, promoting physical and mental balance, and relieving mental fatigue.

[0162] (2) The following conclusions were drawn through statistical analysis of the subjective and objective data of the different subjects participating in the experiment: Kinesio patch therapy was most effective in people who had been engaged in vibrating work for a long time, and their proportion was significantly higher than that of sedentary subjects, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 =8.098, P=0.017); aromatherapy was most effective in sedentary subjects, whose proportion was significantly higher than that of subjects who engaged in long-term vibration work, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 =9.883, P=0.007) (It is recommended to delete this part, as the subjects cannot see the nature of the work).

[0163] (2) Based on 172 fatigued muscles, the total recovery in 13 hours was 64.53%. Among them, the three recovery methods (aromatherapy, hot salt pack therapy, and Kinesio patch therapy) can restore 52.32% of fatigued muscles within 13 hours, and 12.8% of fatigued muscles within 8 hours, of which the blank control can recover 12.2% within 13 hours. Kinesio patch therapy can recover 15.12% within 13 hours; aromatherapy can recover 22.67%; hot salt pack therapy can recover 14.53%; within 8 hours, the blank control group can recover 2.3%; Kinesio patch therapy can recover 0.58%; aromatherapy can recover 7%; hot salt pack therapy can recover 5.2%. It can be seen that aromatherapy is most effective in a short time. In summary, the overall evaluation shows that aromatherapy is more effective; in terms of recovery time, aromatherapy takes the shortest time.
