The effect of lower limb rehabilitation robot training synchronized with tDCS on motor recovery in hemiplegic with stroke

Objective\u200c This study intends to observe the effects of lower limb rehabilitation robot training synchronized with tDCS on motor function in the lower limbs of hemiplegic patients with stroke.\u200cMethods\u200c we enrolled 60 patients with stroke hemiplegia who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were allocated into a test group  and a control group. The test group underwent lower limb rehabilitation robotic training synchronous tDCS, while the control group received lower limb rehabilitation robotic training synchronous transcranial direct current sham stimulation. Both groups participated in training sessions lasting for 20 minutes each, five times a week, for a continuous two weeks. the gait parameters, FMA-LE, FAC, and MBI were employed to assess before and after treatment.\u200cResults\u200c There was no statistically significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, and stroke stratification between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the gait parameters, FMA-LE, FAC, and MBI were better than those of the control group.\u200cConclusion\u200c Lower limb rehabilitation robot training synchronized with tDCS can effectively improve lower limb motor function, gait, and ADL in patients with stroke hemiplegic.
