The Effect of Robotics-assisted Tilt Table and Functional Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Patients

Among subacute stroke patients (within 4 weeks after the onset), patients who are unable to walk are divided into experimental groups and control groups, and conventional rehabilitation treatment including physical therapy and occupational therapy is performed for 4 weeks or more in all groups. Robot assisted inclined bed treatment and FES were performed, and the control group performed conventional inclined bed treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of robot-assisted inclined bed treatment by tracking observation and comparative analysis of the lower limb function, gait ability, bone density and muscle mass of each group. Patients appropriate for the selection criteria are divided into experimental group and control group in random permuted blocks to conduct the study. In the experimental group, FES was performed at the same time as the robot-assisted inclined bed treatment once a day for 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks, and the control group performed conventional inclined bed treatment for 30 minutes once a day for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. Separately from this in all groups, functional electrical stimulation treatment is performed once a day in the area except the lower extremities. In addition, all patients receive palliative physical therapy for 4 weeks for 1 hour a day. All subjects undergo a physical examination and whole body composition assessment before and after 4 weeks of treatment, and f/u after 4 weeks of treatment.

FES was performed at the same time as the robot-assisted inclined bed treatment once a day for 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks.
