Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine lower-limb function in 2 patients that received a ReAktiv Posterior Dynamic Element™ (PDE) orthosis and 6-week rehabilitation program after a high-energy trauma injury to the lower limb. Lower-limb function was assessed using the lower extremity functional score, walking performance through the 2-minute walk test, and dynamic mobility and balance through the single-leg balance, timed stair ascent, and the 4-square step test. A 6-week physiotherapy-led rehabilitation program was also implemented. Data showed improvements in lower extremity function, walking performance, mobility, and balance measures after 8 weeks of wearing the ReAktiv PDE™ orthosis and completion of the rehabilitation program. The ReAktiv PDE™ orthosis combined with a lower-limb rehabilitation program shows potential as a treatment option to improve lower-limb function and walking performance and return sufferers of high-energy trauma injury to functional levels seen in healthy cohorts.
摘要:
这项研究的目的是检查2例接受ReAktiv后路DynamicElement™(PDE)矫形器和6周康复计划的患者的下肢功能。使用下肢功能评分评估下肢功能,通过2分钟步行测试的步行性能,以及通过单腿平衡的动态移动性和平衡性,定时楼梯上升,和4平方阶跃测试。还实施了为期6周的物理治疗主导的康复计划。数据显示下肢功能改善,行走性能,移动性,佩戴ReAktivPDE™矫形器8周并完成康复计划后进行平衡测量。ReAktivPDE™矫形器与下肢康复计划相结合,显示出作为改善下肢功能和步行表现的治疗选择的潜力,并将高能创伤损伤的患者恢复到健康队列中的功能水平。
