Abstract
Study design: Bibliometric analysis.
Objective: The study aims to comprehensively assess the literature related to gait rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to identify significant contributors, and to explore the collaborations and emerging themes in the field.
Methods: Original and review articles in English using relevant keywords were searched in the Clarivate Web of Science database. The data from the selected articles were imported into R software. Bibliometric indicators were assessed to determine author contributions, country affiliations, journal sources, and thematic trends.
Results: A total of 1313 relevant articles were identified. The USA, followed by Canada and Switzerland were the most prolific countries contributing to gait rehabilitation research in SCI. The most relevant journals were Spinal Cord, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, Journal of NeuroEngineering, and Journal of Neurotrauma. The highest contributions came from Northwestern University, the University of Miami, and the University of Alberta. The analysis revealed an increase in research interest in gait rehabilitation after 2000, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies like robotics, exoskeletons, and neuromodulation.
Conclusion: The analysis demonstrates the importance of collaborative and interdisciplinary research in gait rehabilitation. The results indicate a shift in research focus from traditional methods to the integration of technology. The impact of publications from the USA and Europe is a notable finding. The study highlights the growth of articles related to technology-driven approaches and understanding neuroplasticity in gait rehabilitation.
研究设计文献计量分析：本研究旨在全面评估与脊髓损伤（SCI）患者步态康复相关的文献，以确定重要的贡献者，并探索该领域的合作和新出现的主题：方法：使用相关关键词在 Clarivate Web of Science 数据库中搜索英文原创文章和综述文章。所选文章的数据被导入 R 软件。对文献计量指标进行了评估，以确定作者贡献、所属国家、期刊来源和主题趋势：结果：共确定了 1313 篇相关文章。对 SCI 步态康复研究贡献最多的国家是美国，其次是加拿大和瑞士。最相关的期刊是《脊髓》、《物理医学与康复档案》、《脊髓医学杂志》、《神经工程学杂志》和《神经创伤杂志》。贡献最多的是西北大学、迈阿密大学和阿尔伯塔大学。分析表明，2000 年后，步态康复方面的研究兴趣有所增加，重点关注跨学科方法以及机器人、外骨骼和神经调控等新兴技术：分析表明了跨学科合作研究在步态康复中的重要性。结果表明，研究重点已从传统方法转向技术整合。来自美国和欧洲的出版物的影响是一个值得注意的发现。研究强调了与技术驱动方法和了解步态康复中的神经可塑性有关的文章的增长。
