Effect of MOTOmed system treatment on the motor function and life skills of patient with cerebral infarction

Objective:To observe the effects of MOTOmed system treatment on improving the limb motor function and life skills in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:Sixty-one patients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with hemiplegia were randomly divided into the study group(30 cases) and control group(31 cases).The control group were treated with only conventional drug and rehabilitation,the study group were treated with the repetitive exercise of MOTOmed letto2 and viva 2 based on the control group.The symptoms improvement in two groups were evaluated using Fugl-Meyer(FMA) scale,Barthel's ADL index,improved spasticity rating scale(Asworth) and HAMD before and after treatment.Results:After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rates of study group and control group were 90.65% and 61.33%,respectively,the difference of which was statistically significant(P<0.01).After treatment,the scores of FMA and ADL in study group were higher than those in control group(P<0.01),the score of Asworth in study group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Compared with that before treatment,the scores of Asworth and HAMD decreased after treatment(P<0.05 and P<0.01),which in study group was better than that in control group(P<0.01).Conclusions:MOTOmed system can significantly improve the limb motor function,life skills and depression symptom in patients with cerebral infarction complicated with hemiplegia.
