Effect of Rehabilitation Training Based on Digital Treadmill on Walking Ability of Patients with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects of rehabilitation training based on digital treadmill on walking ability of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. Methods: 93 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury admitted to our hospital from November 2020 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into control group (n = 46) and treatment group (n = 47) according to treatment methods. The control group received pure rehabilitation training; The treatment group received rehabilitation training based on digital treadmill. Lower limb muscle strength, walking ability, gait parameters and daily living ability were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, quadriceps muscle strength, 10 m walking time, 6min walking endurance test distance, LEMS score, step length, step speed, step frequency, maximum knee flexion Angle, maximum hip flexion Angle, MBI score and FIM score in both groups were improved compared with those before treatment (p < 0.05). After treatment, quadriceps muscle strength, 10m walking time [(41.16 ± 16.66) s], 6 min walking endurance test distance [(43.14 ± 12.59) m], LEMS score [(41.15 ± 3.68) min], step length [(48.85 ± 9.44) cm], step speed [(0.45 ± 0.03) M/s), stride frequency step (62.49 + 6.19)/minutes, knee flexion Angle [(67.21-6.84)°], hip flexion Angle [(45.32 - 5.27)°], MBI score [(71.09 - 18.08)], FIM score [(111.23 - 7.24)] The improvement was better than that of control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Compared with simple rehabilitation training, rehabilitation training based on digital treadmill can improve lower limb muscle strength, walking ability and gait parameters of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury, and is conducive to improving patients' daily living ability.
