Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of augmented reality training based on enriched environment on walking dysfunction af-ter stroke.
Methods From January,2021 to June,2022,36 stroke patients in the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were randomly divided into control group(n = 18)and experimental group(n = 18).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment.The control group was supplemented with conventional walking training,and the experimental group was supplemented with augmented reality training based on enriched envi-ronment,for four weeks.They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Timed Up and Go Test(TUGT),10-meter walk test(10MWT)and Barthel Index(BI)before and after treatment,and the gait parameter was com-pared.
Results No adverse event occurred during treatment.After treatment,the BBS score,TUGT time,10MWT speed,BI,gait speed,gait frequency and the proportion of single-leg support on the affected side significantly improved in both groups(|t|>5.161,P<0.001).All the above indexes were better in the experimental group than in the con-trol group(|t|>2.106,P<0.05),except for BI(t = 1.099,P = 0.282).
Conclusion Augmented reality training based on enriched environment could improve the walking function of paitents after stroke,which is better than conventional walking training.
