Effect of Occupational Therapy Combined with Weight Loss Treadmill Training on Balance and Functional Walking Ability of Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia
Objective:To investigate the effects of occupational therapy combined with weight loss treadmill training on balance and functional walking ability of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods:A total of 90 stroke patients with hemiplegia who were admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,New District Hospital,The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Uni-versity of Science and Technology from July 2019 to June 2021 were selected as subjects,and were divided into experimental group(n=45)and control group(n=45)by random number table method.Patients in control group were given routine rehabilitation nursing,patients in experimental group were given occupational therapy combined with weight loss treadmill training.Balance func-tion and functional walking ability were compared between 2 groups before and 3 months after intervention.Results:After 3 months of intervention,the scores of Berg Balance Scale(BBS)and functional walking scale(FAC)in the two groups were higher than the control group in the same period(t= 23.279,5.555,P<0.05).The scores of stroke specific quality of life scale(SS-QOL)in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group in the same period)(t= 8.424,8.637,26.306,5.162,7.579,15.302,8.918,8.080,20.745,10.862,1.397,6.806,P<0.05).Conclusion:Occupational therapy combined with weight loss treadmill training can effectively improve the balance function and functional walking ability of stroke patients with hemiple-gia,which is beneficial to improve the quality of life of patients.
