Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and rehabilitation strategies of elderly patients with cervical spondylosis. Methods 256 hospitalized elderly patients with cervical spondylosis treated by comprehensive non-surgical method were analyzed. Statistical Contents: Age, gender, cervical spondylosis classification, visual analogue score (VAS score) before and after treatment, and cervical dysfunction index (NDI) score. Result The results showed that: 1. There were significant differences in visual analogue score (VAS) and cervical dysfunction index (NDI) before and after treatment (p < 0.05); the effective rate was 94.14%. 2. Among the patients, there were 24 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, 99 cases of cervical radiculopathy, 48 cases of cervical spondylotic arteriopathy, 5 cases of sympathetic cervical spondylotic myelopathy and 70 cases of mixed cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Conclusion Elderly patients with cervical spondylosis do not necessarily have to be operated on. At the same time, the elderly have low compensatory ability, more systemic diseases, high surgical risk and poor tolerance. Considering the characteristics of elderly patients with cervical spondylosis, non-surgical treatment should be the preferred basic treatment.Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and rehabilitation strategies of elderly patients with cervical spondylosis.
