Effect of standardized transfer training based on motor imagery therapy on transfer quality and daily living ability in patients with wheelchair-dependent spinal cord injury
Objective To analyze the effect of standard transfer training program combined with motor imagery therapy on the transfer quality and activities of daily living of wheelchair-dependent patients with spi-nal cord injury(SCI).Methods A total of 35 patients with incomplete SCI were randomly divided into inter-vention group(17 cases)and control group(18 cases).Both groups were given routine rehabilitation training,while the intervention group was additionally motor imagery therapy and transfer training.Patients in the two groups were tested by Metastasis Assessment Scale(TAI)and SCI Independence Assessment Scale before and after intervention.Results After intervention,the total score of TAI in the intervention group was(7.52±1.15)points,part 1 was(7.84±1.25)points,part 2 was(6.62±1.43)points.And SCI independence assess-ment Scale score[(36.35±7.37)points]were significantly higher than those in the control group[(5.75±1.72),(6.51±2.09),(5.37±2.13),(29.51±8.43)points,respectively],and the differences were statistical-ly significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The standard transfer training program combined with motor imagery therapy is an effective tool to improve the transfer quality and Activities of daily living in wheelchair-depend-ent SCI patients.
