Clinical study on Athos intelligent sportswear combined with MOTOmed intelligent sports training system for treating upper limb motor dysfunction after cerebral stroke / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of Athos intelligent sportswear combined with MOTOmed intelligent sports training system for substituting partial artificial rehabilitation treatment on upper limb function and activities of daily living in the patients with stroke hemiplegia.Methods Forty-eight patients were randomly divided into the intelligent treatment group(IT) and conventional treatment(CT).The CT group adopted the routine rehabilitation treatment,and the IT group adopted the treatments of Athos intelligent sportswear combined with MOTOmed intelligent sports training system instead of passive motor training for upper extremities,flexion assistive motion training,flexion active anti-resistance training and antispasm exercise training by rehabilitation therapists.The correlation analysis between the biceps Lovett myodynamia testing results and Athos intelligent sportswear myodynamia testing results was conducted before treatment.The Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity(FMA-UE) and Barthel index(BI) of activities of daily living(ADL) were assessed after 1-month and 3-month treatment.Results Thebiceps Lovett myodynamia testing results in 44 cases had significantly positive correlation with the Athos intelligent sportswear muscular strength monitoring results(r=0.929,P＜0.01).The FMA-UE and BI scores at 1,3 months of tratment in the two groups were all significantly increased compared with before tratment(P＜0.01).However,the intergroup difference after tratment was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Applying the Athos intelligent sportswear combined with MOTOmed movement therapy system for substituting partial manual tratment by rehebilitation therapist does not reduce the clinical effect and is conducive to alleviate the one-to-one manual training burden of rehabilitation therapists.
