Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of MOTOmed intelligent training system training on balance and lower limb motor function in stroke patients. Methods 120 stroke patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=60) and control group (n=60) according to the random number table. Both groups were treated with routine rehabilitation training, the observation group received MOTOmed intelligent training system in addition. They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Barthel index (BI), Motricity index (MI-L), modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and Berg balance scale (BBS) before and 4, 8, 12 weeks after treatment. Results There was no difference in the score of FMA, BI, MI-L, BBS, MAS, FAC and the maximum walking speed, stride length and stride frequency between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). The scores of FMA, BI, MI-L, BBS, FAC and the maximum walking speed stride length and stride frequency increased in the observation group and there was a uptrend 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The score of MAS decreased in the observation group and there was a downtrend after treatment (P<0.05). All the indexes were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion MOTOmed training system combined with routine rehabilitation training can improve the balance and lower limb motor function in stroke patients.
