Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Recently, many studies on robotic rehabilitation have been conducted, but such studies on patients with ankle sprains are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effects of robot-assisted rehabilitation on the range of motion of the ankle and balance in patients with ankle sprain .
Methods: This study used the A-B-A’ design and was conducted for a total of fifteen days. The subjects performed general physical therapy for five days each, during the baseline A and A` periods. In period B, robot rehabilitation was performed for five days, along with general physical therapy. The subjects were evaluated based on weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT), single leg stance (SLS), and functional reach test (FRT).
Results: The WBLT, STS, and FRT showed significant improvement in periods B and A’ compared to period A, but there was no significant improvement in period A’ compared to period B.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that robot-assisted rehabilitation was an effective intervention for improving the function of patients with ankle sprain. In the future, a study with a control group comparison should be performed.
