Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of combination of partial body weight support and functional electrical stimulation on lower limb motor function for stroke patients.
Methods From January,2023 to February,2024,60 stroke patients from Rehabilitation Hospital of Chancheng District People's Hospital in Foshan City were randomly divided into control group(n=30)and observation group(n=30).The control group received routine rehabilitation,while the observation group received a combination of ce-lestial orbit system and functional electrical stimulation in addition,for three weeks.They were assessed with Balance assessment and training system,Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities(FMA-LE)and Holden Functional Ambulation Category(FAC)before and after treatment.
Results X-axis trajectory length,average speed of swaying,total wobble trajectory,Y-axis trajectory length,trajectory length per unit area,BBS score,FMA-LE score and FAC score improved in both groups after treatment(|t|＞4.809,P＜0.001);and all the indexes improved more in the observation group than in the control group(|t|＞2.268,P＜0.05),except X-axis trajectory length and average speed of swaying.
Conclusion Supplement of the combination of partial body weight support and functional electrical stimulation is more effective on lower limb motor function,balance and walking for stroke patients.
