Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the immediate curative effect of adjustable knee orthosis in knee hyperextension patients after stroke.Methods:Thirty patients with knee hyperextension patients after stroke admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to December 2019 were selected. The balance and walking function in these patients were evaluated using Bipedal stability and stability limits were evaluated by Pro-Kin 254 beam walking test system, equilibrium function was evaluated by Berg balance scale (BBS), and walking function was evaluated by timed up and go test (TUGT) and ten-meter walking test (10MWT) before and after wearing the adjustable knee orthosis.Results:Patients after wearing the adjustable knee orthosis had significantly decreased movement length, movement area, standard deviation of the movement trajectory front and rear direction, and standard deviation of the movement trajectory left and right direction, and significantly increased limits of stability as compared with those before wearing the adjustable knee orthosis ( P<0.05). Patients after wearing the adjustable knee orthosis had significantly increased BBS scores, and statistically shortened time of TUGT and 10MWT as compared with those before wearing the adjustable knee orthosis ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The adjustable knee orthosis can improve the bipedal stability and stability limits, and balance and walking functions of knee hyperextension patients after stroke, which is worth of clinical application.
