Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of augmented reality training based on enriched environment on walking dysfunction after stroke. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 36 stroke patients in the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were randomly divided into control group (n = 18) and experimental group (n = 18). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment. The control group was supplemented with conventional walking training, and the experimental group was supplemented with augmented reality training based on enriched environment, for four weeks. They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), 10-meter walk test (10MWT) and Barthel Index (BI) before and after treatment, and the gait parameter was compared. ResultsNo adverse event occurred during treatment. After treatment, the BBS score, TUGT time, 10MWT speed, BI, gait speed, gait frequency and the proportion of single-leg support on the affected side significantly improved in both groups (|t| > 5.161, P < 0.001). All the above indexes were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.106, P < 0.05), except for BI (t = 1.099, P = 0.282). ConclusionAugmented reality training based on enriched environment could improve the walking function of paitents after stroke, which is better than conventional walking training.
