背景和目的。治疗师辅助的体重支持的跑步机训练(BWSTT)以提高神经损伤患者的步行能力是一个紧张的研究领域。然而，它在临床环境中的应用受到物理治疗师的人员和劳动力要求的限制。在步进过程中提供辅助的机动化(“机器人”)康复设备的最新发展可能会改善BWSTT的交付。案例描述。本病例报告描述了在3人运动性不完全性脊髓损伤后使用机器人装置来增强运动恢复和步行能力。干预措施。在机器人辅助的BWSTT期间和在一名治疗师的协助下过渡到治疗师辅助的BWSTT之后，每周监测运动障碍、功能限制和运动障碍的变化。结果。经过这次训练，2名患者恢复了独立的地面行走，另一名患者的步速和耐力有所提高。讨论。机器人设备的使用可能会通过提供特定任务的实践来帮助理疗师，即在神经损伤后踩在人身上。首页--期刊主要分类--期刊细介绍--期刊题录与文摘--期刊详细文摘内容运动性不完全性脊髓损伤患者。
Background and Purpose. Performance of therapist-assisted, bodyweight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) to enhance walking ability of people with neurological injury is an area of intense research. Its application in the clinical setting, however, is limited by the personnel and labor requirements placed on physical therapists. Recent development of motorized ("robotic") rehabilitative devices that provide assistance during stepping may improve delivery of BWSTT. Case Description. This case report describes the use of a robotic device to enhance motor recovery and ambulation in 3 people following motor incomplete spinal cord injury. Interventions. Changes in motor impairment, functional limitations, and locomotor disability were monitored weekly during robotic-assisted BWSTT and following transition to therapist-assisted BWSTT with the assistance of one therapist. Outcomes. Following this training, 2 patients recovered independent over-ground walking and another improved his gait speed and endurance. Discussion. The use of robotic devices may assist physical therapists by providing task-specific practice of stepping in people following neurological injury. [Hornby TG, Zemon DH, Campbell D.
