Effect of Early Supine Power Cycling Training on Lower Limb Muscle Strength and Mobility in Patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Objective To investigate the promoting effects of early supine stationary bicycle exercise on lower limb muscle strength and mobility in patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.Methods A total of 104 patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome who received rehabilitation treatment at The Third People's Hospital of Henan Province from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected.Patients were randomly divided into two groups(control group and observation group),with 52 cases in each group.The control group received conventional early rehabilitation care,while the observation group received supine power cycling exercise in addition to standard care.The assessment included lower limb muscle strength grading,activities of daily living[Modified Barthel Index(MBI)scores],balance ability[Berg Balance Scale(BBS)scores],walking ability(10-meter walking time and 6-minute walking distance),and quality of life[Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)]before and after treatment.Results After treatment,both groups showed significant improvements in lower limb muscle strength grading,MBI scores,BBS scores,6-minute walking distance,and SF-36 scores.The 10-meter walking time was significantly reduced,with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Moreover,the observation group demonstrated significantly better lower limb muscle strength,MBI scores,BBS scores,6-minute walking distance,and SF-36 scores than the control group,and had a shorter 10-meter walking time compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Combining basic rehabilitation training with supine power cycling exercise during the early rehabilitation phase for patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome can significantly enhance lower limb muscle strength,improve walking ability,and increase the quality of life for these patients.
