The Effects of Action Observation Therapy on Lower Limb Balance and Gait Function in Stroke Patients
Objective To investigate the effects of action observation therapy(AOT)on lower limb balance and gait function in stroke patients.Methods 70 hemiplegic stroke inpatients admitted from June 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and they were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the method of randomized numerical table,with 35 cases in each group.The control group received conventional rehabilitation and nursing care,and the observation group further received AOT treatment for 30 min daily,for a total of 8 weeks.Before and after the treatment,the Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Tinetti Gait Assessment Scale(POMA-G),and 10 m Walking Test(10-MWT)were used to compare the balance and gait function of the lower limbs of the two groups.Results After treatment,the BBS scores and POMA-G scores of patients in the 2 groups were improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.001),and the BBS scores and POMA-G scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05);the time of 10-MWT of the 2 groups was shortened compared with that before treatment(P＜0.001,P＜0.05),and the time of 10-MWT of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion AOT can positively promote the improvement of lower limb balance and gait function,contributing to the increase of walking speed and the improvement of walking ability in stroke patients.
