[Application of exoskeleton with functional electrostimulation for rebalancing of patients in acute and early recovery periods of ischemic stroke].
UNLABELLED: Static motor disorders are the main cause of falls and decrease of daily activity in patients after previous ischemic stroke.
OBJECTIVE: To study impact of robotic mechanotherapy with functional electrostimulation (FES) on rebalancing in patients in acute and early recovery periods of ischemic stroke.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The number of patients equal 60, divided into 2 groups, were examined. Study group included 30 patients, who were treated in an exoskeleton with FES; control group consisted of 30 patients, whose walking and balance recovering was carried out with exercise therapy.
RESULTS: The study group showed a more pronounced improvement of balance indicators by Tinetti scale compared to the control group (11 [8; 13] against 8 [6; 12]; p =0.0281) at the end of treatment. Patients of study group demonstrated significantly better results both by Tinetti scale and stabilometrical parameters in acute period of stroke compared to the control group.
CONCLUSION: Application of exoskeleton with FES in patients in acute and early periods of ischemic stroke contributes (to a better balance recovery), which may be achieved by long-lasting verticalization and large repetition of the correct walking pattern during rehabilitative trainings.
