Methods: in June 2021-June 2022 for intercept research time interval, a total of 60 cases of acute stroke hemiplegia, random principle specification grouping, control group received 30 cases of routine treatment, observation group received 30 cases of early rehabilitation treatment, around the upper and lower limb function assessment score, daily life ability evaluation score, balance function, cognitive function scale evaluation score and complication rate data line to compare. Results: before the treatment work, the evaluation results, daily life ability, balance function, and cognitive function evaluation results showed no difference (P> 0.05), and the results were higher (P <0.05);for the complication rate, the observation group showed lower results (P <0.05). Conclusion: for acute stroke cases, early rehabilitation treatment, which can improve the function of upper and lower limbs, strengthen their living ability, balance function and cognitive function, and prevent complications in patients, which is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

Employing a qualitative methodology, the research entailed semi-structured, in-depth interviews with women utilizing lower limb prostheses and prosthetic specialists. This approach was selected to unearth pivotal design prerequisites and comprehend the specific challenges these women encounter within the realm of clothing. The utilization of selective sampling facilitated the collection of intricate and valuable insights. A Functional, Expressive, and Aesthetic (FEA) User Needs model was utilized to scrutinize participant feedback. Functional requisites encompass ease of dressing and undressing, accessibility to the prosthetic limb, comfort, mobility with the prosthesis, and appropriate fit. Additionally, participants highlighted various expressive needs, including privacy preservation, modesty, camouflaging disability appearances, maintaining alignment with non-disabled women’s fashion, and considerations about the aesthetic aspects of garments.展开更多

However, the rehabilitation effect of water weight-loss training in stroke patients is currently unclear. Objective: To analyze the effect of water weight loss walking training in stroke patients. Methods: A total of 180 stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group received routine walking training, and the research group performed weight loss walking training in water on this basis. The lower limb motor function, muscle tone grade, daily living ability, gait and balance ability were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: Compared with the control group, the FMA-LE score (Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of Lower Extremity), MBI score (Modified Barthel Index) and BBS score (berg balance scale) of the study group were higher after treatment, and the muscle tone was lower (P Conclusion: Water weight loss walking training can enhance patients’ muscle tension, correct patients’ abnormal gait, improve patients’ balance and walking ability, and contribute to patients’ motor function recovery and self-care ability improvement.展开更多

Methods: from January 2021 to January 2022, 76 cases of senile stroke were diagnosed in our hospital. They were divided into two groups: control group and observation group. There were 38 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional drugs and rehabilitation training. The observation group further increased biofeedback training Lower limb motor dysfunction and daily living ability were evaluated and compared. Results: the difference of Fugl-Meyer scale score between the two groups before treatment was small (P>0.05), and the score of Fugl-Meyer scale in the observation group was higher than that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05);The difference of Barthel index between the two groups before treatment was small (P>0.05), and the Barthel index in the observation group was higher than that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05);The difference of NIHSS scores between the two groups before treatment was small (P>0.05), and the NIHSS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: the combined use of biofeedback training for elderly stroke patients can effectively promote the rehabilitation of patients, improve their neurological function, enhance the motor function of lower limbs and the ability of self-care in life.展开更多
