Abstract

Background: No study has yet demonstrated the effect of lower limb gait rehabilitation robot treatment combined with acupuncture on stroke patients.

Objective: To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with lower limb gait rehabilitation robot on walking function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Methods: Fifty-six patients with hemiplegia after stroke were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. The control group received regular rehabilitation training and acupuncture therapy; the intervention group was additionally trained by AiWalker-I lower limb gait robot. Both groups received 5 sessions a week for 4 weeks. Walking function parameters were assessed before and after the 4-week treatment.

Results: There was no significant difference in all parameters between the two groups in baseline (P > 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, all parameters including the effectiveness of functional ambulation category (FAC), time up and go test (TUGT) time, Wisconsin gait scale (WGS) score, walking spatiotemporal parameters were all significantly improved in both groups with a significant better effect in the intervention group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with lower limb gait rehabilitation robot training has a positive effect on correction of abnormal gait and improvement of walking ability of hemiplegic patients after stroke.

针灸结合下肢步态康复机器人对改善中风偏瘫患者行走功能的影响

背景：尚未有研究证实下肢步态康复机器人治疗结合针灸对中风患者的效果：目前还没有研究证实下肢步态康复机器人治疗联合针灸对脑卒中患者的效果：探讨针灸联合下肢步态康复机器人对脑卒中偏瘫患者步行功能的影响：方法：选取 56 例脑卒中偏瘫患者，随机分为两组。对照组接受常规康复训练和针灸疗法；干预组额外接受 AiWalker-I 下肢步态机器人训练。两组均每周接受 5 次训练，为期 4 周。在4周治疗前后对行走功能参数进行评估：结果：两组基线参数无明显差异（P>0.05）。治疗4周后，两组的所有参数，包括功能性行走类别（FAC）有效性、步行时间（TUGT）、威斯康星步态量表（WGS）评分、步行时空参数均有明显改善，其中干预组的效果明显更好（P 结论：针灸联合下肢运动康复治疗在改善下肢运动功能方面具有重要意义：针灸联合下肢步态康复机器人训练对脑卒中偏瘫患者步态异常的矫正和行走能力的改善有积极作用。

期刊介绍： NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
