Objective:
To explore the effect of a pelvis-assisting rehabilitation robot on lower limb function and knee proprioception after cerebral infarction.Methods:
Forty hemiplegic cerebral infarction survivors were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each of 20. Both groups were given routine neurological medication and rehabilitation training, while the experimental group was additionally provided with 20 minutes of robot-assisted gait training daily, five times a week for four weeks. Before and after the intervention, motor function, balance, walking function and knee joint proprioception were assessed using the simplified Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment, the Berg balance scale, functional ambulation categorization and the Humac Norm isokinetic tester.Results:
After the treatment, significant improvement was observed in all of the above measurements in both groups, but the improvements were significantly greater in the experimental group.Conclusions:
Robotic pelvic assistance can effectively improve lower limb motor function, balance, knee proprioception and walking after cerebral infarction.
