“…The MRE is originated from ancient Chinese martial art the Eight-Section Brocade. It has been suggested to play an important role in human endocrine (15), CNS, and cardiopulmonary systems (16). Additionally, acupressure, a form of massage therapy utilizing pressure with thumbs or fingertips to stimulate discrete points on the body for relief of a variety of symptoms, is integrated into MRE for rehabilitation of mild COVID-19 cases (17).…”

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a new Betacoronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently a global pandemic. Gathered clinicopathological evidence in COVID-19 patients shows that alveoli injuries and interstitial changes are the major mechanisms of impaired O2/CO2 exchange. Few rehabilitation exercises concerning COVID-19 patients were reported. Here, we present a modified version of rehabilitation exercises based on the underlying mechanism of the disease to mild cases of COVID-19. These exercises aimed to improve the pulmonary function of patients and ease the expectoration process. Additionally, an essential branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) named acupressure was integrated into the exercises to facilitate the recovery and maintenance of pulmonary function. Methods: From March 4, 2020 to May 5, 2020, a total of 60 COVID-19 patients who completed the full course of MRE were enrolled in this observational study. The diagnostic and classification criteria were based on the 7 th edition of Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline of COVID-19 published by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. We prospectively gathered patients' reported outcomes concerning respiration-related symptoms at four different time points, including: (I) at admission; (II) at the time of hospital discharge; (III) two weeks after discharge; (IV) four weeks after discharge. The reported respiratory symptoms included dry cough, productive cough, difficulty in expectoration, and dyspnea.Results: In total, 60 confirmed mild COVID-19 cases were enrolled with a median age of 54 years old. The baseline prevalence for dry cough, productive cough, difficulty in expectoration, and dyspnea were 41.7%, 43.3%, 35.0%, and 50.0%, respectively. The pronounced decline in symptom prevalence was recorded over time. Interestingly, four weeks after discharge, we noticed a lower remission rate in productive cough and difficulty in expectoration. Conclusions:The modified rehabilitation exercises were retrieved from the Eight-Section Brocade, and are specifically designed for rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients at home or health facilities. Based on current findings on pronouncedly improved remission rate in respiratory symptoms, we recommend the MRE as suitable rehabilitation exercise to smooth respiration and ease the expectoration process in mild COVID-19 cases.

“…A healthy lifestyle, including a nutritious diet, has been shown to improve sleep quality (Jung et al, 2017). Other than that, a variety kind of sports, such as eight-section brocade (Lv et al, 2019), and aerobic exercises (El-Kader & Al-Jiffri, 2019), can enhance sleep quality, and they are less expensive and can be accessed easily (Zhai et al, 2020) which could be the best intervention for students to practice.…”

Stress is a normal occurrence in human lives, and university students can never escape from experiencing stress at least once during their university years, during which they have to face a variety of stressors. Poor sleep quality happens to people of all ages worldwide, particularly university students. Numerous studies have reported that stress significantly correlates with sleep quality among university students from various courses. However, these variables were less explored by past researchers, specifically on engineering students. In order to explore more information on these variables among engineering university students, a cross-sectional, quantitative, correlational study is conducted to identify the relationship between stress and sleep quality among engineering students in Malaysia. A total of 272 undergraduate engineering students from three public universities in Malaysia were involved in the study. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used. The result from the correlational analysis shows that there is a significant negative relationship between stress and sleep quality among engineering students. The study’s findings could be used as a reference for future studies and recommend interventions to improve students’ stress and sleep quality levels.

“…Furthermore, during the COVID-19 period, it is also more reliable access for patients who have a chronic disease to complete rehabilitation training at home rather than be given regular treatment in the hospital. As a rehabilitation training that not only can help older chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients enhance their exercise endurance and quality of life [2], but also can improve patients' sleep quality, latency, duration, disturbance, and daytime dysfunction [3]. Eight-section brocade as a type of famous rehabilitation training in China is used in many treatment situations.…”

Telemedicine is likely to be an increasingly available medical mean for modern patients and those who are inconvenient to go to hospitals. As a kind of Chinese traditional rehabilitation training, eight-section brocade is more suitable for patients of most ages and they can promote physical quality. However, it is difficult for non-professional patients to complete standard posture without doctor guidance. Therefore, in this work, a method of remote data collection, posture scoring, and classification based on convolutional neural network of Siamese Network will be presented. 1, 204 images are used as template pose data and other 1, 204 pictures are patient's poses. To train the network to have a better understanding of the image's sophistication, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used in this work, which can take an input image and apply learnable weights and biases to the image's numerous objects. Meanwhile, Siamese network is mentioned as a method to compare two vectors with different outputs so that posture classification and evolution can be realized. The average similarity of the score is 0.2172, as can be shown. The score range is -1 to 1. The closer the score is to 0, the more the patient's activities resemble the template.
