Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of multi-position lower limb rehabilitation robot on motor function in hemiplegia patients after stroke. Methods 40 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 20 cases in each group. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation training, and the observation group received multi-position lower limb rehabilitation robot training, 20 min a day. Berg balance scale (BBS), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), modified Barthel index (MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), 10 minutes maximum walking speed and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were used to evaluat the outcome.Results The scores of BBS, FMA and MBI increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the score was more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01). The FAC and 10 minutes maximum waking speed were better, and the score of MAS was lower in the observation group than in the control group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion Multi-position lower limb rehabilitation robot is effective on the motor function and balance function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
