Effect of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot-Assisted Walking Training on Patients with Collateral Circulation After Thromboangiitis Obliterans PTA
Objective:To investigate the effect of robot-assisted walking training on collateral circulation after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)of the lower thromboangiitis obliterans.Methods:100 patients with thromboangiitis obliterans admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the observation subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with equal numbers.The control group received conventional treatment,while the observation group received lower limb rehabilitation robot assisted walking training on the basis of the control group.The ankle brachial index,painless walking distance,maximum walking distance,and restenosis incidence were compared between the two groups.Results:The ankle-brachial index,painless walking distance and maximal walking distance in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group at 3,6 and 12 months after discharge.The incidence of restenosis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion:The lower limb rehabilitation robot can help improve the blood circulation of the affected limb after PTA,promote the blood supply of the affected limb,promote the recovery of walking ability and prevent restenosis.
