Title : Effect of robotic lower limb rehabilitation training on joint function and complications after internal fixation of femoral neck fracture
Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of robotic lower limb rehabilitation training on postoperative joint function and complications of femoral neck fracture with internal fixation.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted to select 112 patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021, including 71 males and 41 females; The age ranged from 41 to 72 years, with an average of (60.5 ± 5.8) years; Garden classification: 35 cases of type II, 37 cases of type III, and 40 cases of type IV; Causes of injury: 37 cases of traffic accident injuries, 31 cases of falling injuries, 23 cases of falling injuries, and 21 cases of heavy object injuries. According to the random number table method, they were divided into a control group and a study group, each with 56 cases. The control group received routine rehabilitation training, and the research group received robotic limb rehabilitation training on the basis of the control group. Harris hip function score and Berg balance scale (BBS) score were compared between the two groups before and after intervention, and the excellent rate of hip function recovery and the incidence of complications were counted.
Results: After intervention, the Harris score and BBS score in the study group were (86.2 ± 5.1) and (44.7 ± 4.4), respectively, higher than those in the control group (80.9 ± 7.3) and (37.8 ± 3.4) (P<0.05). The excellent rate of functional recovery of hip joint in study group was 94.6%, which was higher than 76.8% in control group (P<0.05). The complication rate in the study group was 3.6%, lower than that in the control group (16.1%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Robotic lower limb rehabilitation training can improve the function and balance of hip joint after internal fixation of femoral neck fracture and reduce complications.
