title: [Analysis of some related factors of effect on gluteus muscle contraction].
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).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Age, patient's condition, orthopedic degree in operation and rehabilitation are important factors to affect the curative effect on gluteu muscle contraction.
