The Effect of PNF Combined with Lower Limb Robotic Training on Posture and Walking Function in Stroke Patients
Objective:To explore the effect of PNF combined with lower limb robot training on posture and walking function in stroke patients.Methods:Random stroke chart divided 44 stroke patients into observation and control groups with 22 patients in each group.Both groups received routine rehabilitation therapy PNF training,and the observation group added lower limb robot training on this ba-sis.Before and after 4 weeks of treatment,posture and balanced walking function were assessed by Stroke Postural Assessment Scale(PASS),Functional Walking Scale(FAC),Berg Balance Function Scale and Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS).Results:Before treat-ment,there was no significant difference in the scores of each scale between the two groups(P>0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,there were statistically significant differences in PASS,FAC functional walking grading,and Berg scale scores between the two groups of pa-tients compared to before treatment(P<0.001),and the observation group had a statistically significant difference compared to the con-trol group(P<0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in MAS grading between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).Conclusion:PNF combined with lower limb robot training can help to improve the posture and balance function of stroke patients,and improve their walking ability.
