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.

Objective To initially understand the condition of quality of life (QOL) and depression as well as the correlation between them in the stroke inpatients. Methods 56 stroke patients from September 2014 to January 2015 in our hospital were included. Their QOL and depression status were evaluated with Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The de-pression was as the dependent variable, the score of SS-QOL, gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke were as the inde-pendent variables, and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Depression correlated with SS-QOL score (OR=0.955, P<0.05), but not with gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke (P>0.05). Conclusion The depression status correlated with the QOL of stroke patients, but did not with gender, age, education background and the duration of stroke.
