Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of self-efficacy-based intelligent walking training on function of lower extremities of stroke patients.

Methods From December, 2021 to December, 2022, 44 stroke inpatients from Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 22) and experimental group (n = 22). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, while the control group accepted routine gait training, and the experimental group accepted self-efficacy-based intelligent walking training on the gait training system (Walker View), for six weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities, 10-Meter Walk Test, Timed 'Up and Go' Test, stride length and average walking velocity, Functional Ambulation Category and General Self-Efficacy Scale before and after treatment.

Results Three cases dropped down in the experimental group. All the indexes improved in two groups after treatment (|t| > 5.808, |Z| > 2.961, P < 0.01), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.049, Z = -2.572, P < 0.05).

Conclusion The self-efficacy-based intelligent walking training can promote the recovery of motor function of lower extremities and walking ability in stroke patients.
