Clinical Effects of MOTOmed Intelligent Exercise Training Combined with Intensive Walking Training on the Rehabilitation of Walking, Nerve and Lower Limb Functions among Patients with Hemiplegia after Stroke

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical effects of MOTOmed intelligent exercise training combined with intensive walking training on the rehabilitation of walking, nerve and lower limb functions among patients with hemiplegia after stroke. METHODS: Randomized controlled trial was used in this study. Fifty-two patients with hemiplegia after stroke treated in 82nd Army Group Military Hospital from February 2017 to February 2018 were selected as the subjects and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, each with 26 cases. The control group underwent intensive walking training, and the observation group underwent MOTOmed intelligent exercise training on the control group basis. Both groups’ rehabilitation of walking function, nerve function and lower limb function were observed. RESULTS: Both groups had significantly increased FAC score and 10-m maximum walking speed (P < 0.05), and the observation group had significantly higher results than those of the control group (P < 0.05); both groups had significantly higher FMA scores than before treatment (P < 0.05), and the observation group had significantly higher scores than those of the control group (P < 0.05); both groups after two months of treatment had significantly increased NGF, NT-3 and BDNF (P<0.05), and the observation group had significantly higher levels than those of the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: MOTOmed intelligent exercise training combined with intensive walking training can significantly improve the walking function, nerve function and lower limb function among patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
