| Objective: To observe the effect of anti-gravity treadmill training on balance function, gait and daily life ability in hemiplegic patients with stroke. Methods: Totally, 38 hemiplegic patients with stroke were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group with 19 cases in each group. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, the control group received routine walking training, and the experimental group received anti-gravity treadmill walking training. Before and after treatment, balance function was assessed using the dynamic and static balance analysis training system and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), gait evaluation system was used to assess gait, and Barthel Index (BI) was used to assess daily life ability. Results: After treatment, the X-axis center of gravity offset, Y-axis center of gravity offset, exposure area and shaking angle in both groups were significantly reduced as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the experimental group were lower than in the control group (P<0.05); the BBS scores in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the experimental group were higher than in the control group (P<0.05); After treatment, the percentage of single supporting phase, walking speed and stride length on the affected side in both groups were significantly improved as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), the foot tilt angle was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05), the percentage of swing phase on the affected side in the experimental group was significantly higher than that before treatment (P<0.05); After treatment, the percentage of single supporting phase, percentage of swing phase, walking speed and stride length in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the foot tilt angle was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); After treatment, the BI scores in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.01), and those in the experimental group were higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Anti-gravity treadmill train-ing can effectively improve the balance function, gait and daily life ability of hemiplegic patients with stroke, and has a positive effect on the rehabilitation treatment of hemiplegic patients with stroke. |
