Introduction
Gait enables human beings to move forward, and most people consider gait to be natural skill. But gait disturbances are very prevalent to the the patients with burn injury. A major cause of functional impairment including pain and joint contractures. Contractures at the lower extremities such as the hip, knee and ankle significantly limit gait. Recent attention of the application of artificial intelligence in rehabilitation, in particularly lower limbs robot assisted rehabilitation has become a hot issue of studies. This study is purposed to find the efficacy and study the mechanism of motor recovery after robot assisted gait training on patients with lower extremity burn.
Method
7 patients with lower extremity burn were included. All patients received 4 weeks robot assisted training. Functional scores of functional ambulation category(FAC) and 6-minute walking distances, and pain score of visual analog score(VAS) during robot assisted gait training were measured.
Results
FAC and VAS scores after training were better than the scores before training. 6-min walking distance after training were significantly increased than the measure before training(p<0.05). Lower limbs robot assited rehabilitation training improves patient’s pain, and increases walking speed on patients with lower extremity burn.
Conclusion
Lower limbs robot assited rehabilitation improves the walking speed, and prolongs their walking distances. The use of robot assisted rehabilitation may facilitate early recovery from burn injury.
