Title: Effect of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot Training on Unilateral Spatial Neglect in Stroke Patients
Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of upper limb rehabilitation robot training on unilateral spatial neglect(USN) in stroke patients.Methods 30 stroke patients with USN were divided into control group(n=15) and observation group(n=15).Both 2 groups received routine rehabilitation and USN comprehensive training after vital signs were stable.The observation group received upper limb rehabilitation robot training additionally.Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA),Modified Barthel Index(MBI) and USN were assessed before and 8 weeks after treatment.Results The scores of FMA and MBI and USN status were significantly improved(P0.01),and they were better in the observation group than in the control group(P0.01).Conclusion Upper limb rehabilitation robot training can improve USN patients' upper limb motor function and activities of daily living,and improve the degree of USN.
