Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen combined with rehabilitation training on the motor ability of ischemic stroke patients.Methods Eighty ischemic stroke patients were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Bobath' s approach,while the treatment group was treated with Bobath's methods supplemented by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.The United States National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS),the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment scale (FMA) (lower part) and each patient's maximum walking speed (MWS) were used to evaluate the patients before,and after 8 weeks of treatment.Results After treatment the average NIHSS score,FMA score and MWS were 4.17 ± 1.4％,31.2 ± 3.3 and 54,.3 ± 16.2 m/min,respectively,in the treatment group.The control group' s results were 6.81 ± 1.2％,26.2 ± 2.2 and 45.6 ± 18.3 m/min.The intra-group differences in evaluation results before and after treatment were statistically significant in both groups.An inter-group comparison showed that the treatment group performed significantly better after treatment than the control group in terms of FMA and MWS.After treatment,the treatment group showed significantly better walking performance in terms of cadence,stride length,step length on the affected side,gait cycle and double support duration.Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen can make rehabilitation training more effective in improving the neurologic deficits,motor function and walking ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors.
