RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of robot-assisted gait training on the standing and walking balance of persons with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) resulting from hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD).Methods Thirty-six persons with AFP resulting from HFMD were randomly divided into a control group and a training group,each of 18.Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation training,while the training group was additionally provided with robot-aided gait training.The control group received additional massage of their affected limbs.Before and after 15 days of treatment the subjects' standing and walking ability were evaluated using parts D and E of the gross motor function (GMFM) scale.Their balance was quantified using the Berg balance scale (BBS) and integrated surface electromyograms were recorded.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups before the treatment.After 6 weeks of treatment the average scores of both groups had improved significantly,with a significantly bigger increase observed in the training group.After the treatment,the average GMFM and BBS scores of the training group were significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusion Gait training in addition to conventional rehabilitation training can significantly improve the standing,walking and balance of patients with HFMD resulting from AFP and promote their recovery.
RESUMEN
@#ObjectiveTo explore the gait analysis of children with spastic cerebral palsy and its effect for the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy. Methods42 children with spastic cerebral palsy were examined with the cinematographic method and the biomechanics platform. We obtained three groups data.They are the time of gait cycle,the force in plate and the range of joints.ResultsThere was no difference in statistics within the six type cerebral palsy(P>0.05). Conclusions Children with spastic cerebral palsy are varied in the gait analysis.It is helpful to evaluate and treat cerebral palsy.
