Abstract

The aim of this study was to summarise the therapeutic effects of exercise interventions for common chronic diseases and to analyse the scope of application and problems of various exercise treatment protocols, with a view to guiding clinical practice and providing references for subsequent research. To this end, this paper describes how to extract feature parameters for gait analysis based on a digital human motion model. In-depth descriptions of the extraction algorithms for spatiotemporal features, centre-of-mass movement features, joint mobility, and joint contact forces are presented, and the reliability of the knee contact force extraction algorithm is analysed in particular. To analyse the effect of exercise on the treatment of chronic diseases, 50 cases of elderly chronic disease patients collected from the community were selected and subjected to healthy exercise for 1 year, before and after the healthy exercise. After the exercise, the elderly chronic disease patients' blood pressure, lipid, and blood glucose attainment rates, chronic diseases, and knowledge of nonpharmacological treatments were significantly higher, with statistically significant differences compared to the preexercise period (P < 0.05).
