水中平板步行训练对脊髓损伤患者康复疗效的初步观察

目的观察水中平板步行训练对脊髓损伤患者的康复疗效。方法对11例外伤性不完全性脊髓损伤患者进行水中平板步行训练等康复治疗，记录水中平板步行训练前后的ASIA运动评分、ASIA感觉评分。以及训练时的行走距离、最大步速和训练前后的日常生活活动能力（ADL）评分变化。结果经水中平板步行训练后，患者的ASIA感觉评分提高（P〈0．05），ASIA运动评分、行走距离、最大步速及ADL评分明显提高（P〈0．01）。结论在常规康复治疗基础上进行水中平板步行训练可改善不完全性脊髓损伤患者的运动、感觉功能及生活自理能力。

Effect of Underwater Treadmill Training on Patients with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Objective To observe the effect of underwater treadmill training on patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods 11 patients with incomplete SCI were treated with underwater treadmill training, besides other comprehensive rehabilitation. Motor and sense scores were assessed using ASIA2000 standard and recorded before and after the underwater treadmill training. Walking distances, maximal walking velocity when training and changes of activities of daily living (ADL) before and after training were also recorded.Results After underwater treadmill training, the sense score of ASIA increased ( P<0.05), motor score of ASIA, and scores of walking distance, maximal walking velocity and ADL increased significantly ( P<0.01).Conclusion The underwater treadmill training along with other routine rehabilitation treatment may be helpful to improve motor and sensory functions and ADL of patients with incomplete SCI.
