Abstract:
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of lower extremity exoskeleton robot(LEER)training on walking and balance function in patients with incomplete paraplegia.Methods According to the treatment method,70 patients with incomplete paraplegia were randomly divided into LEER group and control group,35 cases in each group.Both groups received regular rehabilitation therapy and functional walking training,and the LEER group received LEER training.Barthel index(BI),Berg balance scale(BBS)and functional ambulation category(FAC)were used to evaluate the activities of daily living,balance function and walking ability of the two groups before and 12 weeks after treatment.Results Compared with those before treatment,the BI and BBS scores of the LEER group and the control group were significantly increased(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in BI and BBS scores between the LEER group and the control group before treatment(all P＞0.05).The BI and BBS scores of the LEER group were significantly higher than those of the control group after treatment(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in FAC grade distribution between LEER group and control group before treatment(P＞0.05),and there was significant difference in FAC grade distribution between the two groups after treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion LEER training can effectively improve the daily living ability,balance and walking function of patients with incomplete paraplegia,which is superior to the single intervention path of conventional rehabilitation training.
