Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current situation of robot-assisted patient rehabilitation training in neurological disease-related departments of ClassⅢ medical institutions across the country, so as to provide guidance and basis for promoting the improvement of robot-assisted training.Methods:In September 2021, convenience sampling was used to select neurological disease-related departments in Class Ⅲ hospitals from all provinces and cities across the country to conduct a survey on the status of robot-assisted rehabilitation training. A self-designed Hospital Robot-Assisted Training Questionnaire was used for investigation. The survey was conducted using an electronic questionnaire. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 236 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 94.4%.Results:Among the 236 neurological disease-related departments, a total of 93 (39.4%) departments used robot-assisted rehabilitation training. The robot type was mainly wearable robot, which was mainly used to train lower limb motor function, upper limb motor function, gait ability and so on. A total of 55.9% (52/93) of departments believed that robot-assisted rehabilitation training was more effective than conventional rehabilitation training. Hospital type, department bed turnover times, and daily training time were the main factors affecting the effectiveness of robot-assisted training, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Among the 93 departments that had used robots, 22.6% (21/93) of the departments had not experienced any negative events in the robot-assisted rehabilitation training. The 143 departments that had not yet used robots had a positive attitude towards robots, and the main reasons for not using robots were that robots were too expensive, lacked the guidance of technicians, and were afraid to use them without professional training. Conclusions:Robot-assisted training has been concerned and tried to use by neurological disease-related departments, but the safety still needs to be further enhanced. Medical institutions should formulate robot-assisted rehabilitation training guidelines as soon as possible to guide the application and development of robot-assisted training.
