Effect of robot-assisted gait training nursing on the treatment of elderly patients with lower limb dysfunction after burn injury
Objective:To explore the effects of robot-assisted gait training nursing on the treatment of elderly patients with lower limb dysfunction after burn injury.Methods:90 cases of elderly patients with lower limb dysfunction after burn injury who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected.They were divided into the control group(n=45)and the research group(n=45)using a random number table.Patients in the control group were given routine training nursing,and patients in the research group received robot-assisted gait training nursing.Gait parameters,walking ability,balance function and lower limb motor function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with that before training,stride length,leg speed,stride frequency,6-Minute Walking Test(6MWT)distance,Functional Ambulation Category(FAC),Berg Balance Scale(BBS)and Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity(FMA-LE)scores of the two groups increased after 2 months of training,and the above indicators in the research group were better than those in the control group.Conclusion:Application of robot-assisted gait training nursing in treating elderly patients with lower limb dysfunction after burn injury could improve walking ability,balance ability and lower limb motor function.
