Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of multi-sensory artificial intelligence feedback gait training on the recovery of walking function in stroke patients based on enriched environment theory. MethodsFrom July, 2021 to June, 2023, a total of 80 stroke patients in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were randomly divided into control group (n = 40) and experimental group (n = 40). Both groups received routine rehabilitation in the lying and seated positions, for 40 minutes. The control group received ground walking training, for 20 minutes, while the experimental group received multi-sensory feedback gait training in enriched environment, for 20 minutes. Before and after four weeks intervention, the digital motion monitoring treadmill was used to mearsure step speed, step length, hip and knee swing angle and weight symmetry. They were assessed with Berg Balance scale (BBS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE) and Barthel Index (BI). ResultsAfter intervention, the hip swing angle, step length of both sides and step speed significantly improved in both groups (|t| > 3.162, P < 0.05), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.568, P < 0.05); the average knee joint swing angle and bilateral weight-bearing symmetry significantly improved in the experimental group (|t| > 3.249, P < 0.01); the scores of BBS, FMA-LE and BI improved in both groups (|t| > 3.569, P < 0.01), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.922, P < 0.05). ConclusionMulti-sensory feedback gait training based on enriched environment theory could effectively improve the walking and balance of stroke patients, and increase the ability of independence.
