Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of dynamic standing bed training on the functional recovery of hemiplegic patients. Methods Sixty hemiplegic patients with Barthel index score of 40 were randomized into a standing rehabilitation group and a control group. The patients in standing rehabilitation group were asked to take part in dynamic standing bed training in addition to drug treatment. Those in the control group were treated with medication only. After 1 to 2 weeks of treatment, the weight-bearing ability of the lower limbs, balance, muscle tone, trunk control and the cardiovascular response were evaluated and compared with those before the treatment. Results The scores of weight-bearing, balance, muscle tone and trunk control of the patients in the standing rehabilitation group were better improved than those in the control group. The changes of blood pressure and pulse of patients were reduced and within the range of safety after 2 weeks of training. Conclusion Dynamic standing bed training is beneficial for the functional recovery of hemiplegic patients. It is safe for the patients in terms of cardiovascular response.
