The FILS was used to assess the subjects' mode of food intake on the admission and survey dates. The FILS score was used to divide the patients into three stages: no oral intake, combined oral intake and alternative nutrition, and exclusively oral intake; the patients whose FILS stage on the survey date was different from that on the admission date were examined to determine whether there were any characteristic tendencies with regard to their age, sex, length of hospital stay, level of long-term care needed, primary illness, and dysphagia rehabilitation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Overall, 6.8%, 9.8%, and 4.5% of the subjects showed improvement in the FILS stage, experienced deterioration of the FILS stage, and transitioned to exclusively oral intake, respectively.

The results of the exact binomial test with the entire study cohort as the population proportion showed that there were significantly more females in the improved-FILS group.

Moreover, the patients were divided by their everyday wheelchair propulsion posture: Lean on Back Support (LBS); <i>n</i> = 8), those who leaned their back against the back support; and non-LBS (<i>n</i> = 11), those who moved their back away from the back support. For the wheelchair propulsion method, straight one-hand, one-leg propulsion was used on the non-paralyzed side for 10 m, followed by turning around a target 3 m ahead on each of the paralyzed and non-paralyzed sides.

In this report, we describe the progress of gait training using a combination of lower-limb orthosis and body weight-supported (BWS) walker in a patient with severe AMAN.</p><p><strong>Case: </strong>A 30-year-olds man diagnosed with AMAN underwent two high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin treatments and combined steroid pulse therapy. The patient was admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation ward for 87 days with a Medical Research Council (MRC) score of 7 points for muscle strength and 13 points for Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor items. He started gait training with a knee-ankle-foot orthosis on the 128th day. Thereafter, the distance of gait training increased with the use of lower-limb orthosis and BWS walker. At the time of discharge, the patient's MRC score had improved to 24 points and his FIM motor items score to 31 points. He was able to walk 90 m using ankle-foot orthosis and forearm walker and was transferred to a rehabilitation facility on day 237.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Gait training with lower-limb orthosis and BWS walker was performed on a patient with severe AMAN. As a result, gait training distance increased without adverse events. Gait training can be performed safely and effectively by combining lower-limb orthosis and BWS walker when gait ability is expected to improve, even in severely ill patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":101309,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of comprehensive rehabilitation science","volume":"14 ","pages":"49-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10585010/pdf/jjcrs-14-49.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49687293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
