TREADMILL EFFICIENCY WITH VIRTUAL REALITYIN RECOVERY OF MOTOR DEFICIENCY AFTER STROKE

Abstract

Introduction. The frequency and severity of motor and emotional consequences after a stroke, a high level of disability
in patients is a serious problem, and determine the search for effective and affordable methods of restorative treatment.
Currently, various treadmills are used to train walking in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis.
Objective: to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation of stroke patients with movement disorders by using a virtual reality
treadmill.
Materials and methods: A nonrandamized controlled clinical study was carried out on the basis of the emergency
hospital in Semey, KGP at the EKR "EKR RC" UZ EKR, KDP Invitro plus Semey and NJSC "MUS" in the period 2019-2021.
A total of 126 patients who underwent primary cerebral stroke with movement disorders during the last year before the start
of the study, aged 40 to 70 years, were involved, divided into two groups depending on the method of rehabilitation. The
main group trained with an exercise therapy instructor, using the example of treadmill with bodyweight support and VR
(TechnoBody). The control group underwent rehabilitation activities according to the clinical protocol.
Results and discussions. An analysis of the dynamics of recovery of motor functions after a stroke using the example
of RVD and RWR showed an improvement in daily activities and walking skills without the risk of falling. Assessment of
anxiety-depressive disorders in patients revealed a decrease in the level of anxiety and depression in most patients of both
groups (93% and 90% of cases in the experimental group; 82% and 86% of cases in the control group), and rehabilitation
after a stroke is directly related to the regression of depression. and anxiety. The assessment of the QOL of patients showed:
PF is 11% higher in the experimental group than in the control group, RPF is 4%, Pain is 20%, GH and V are 15%, SF is
10%, MH is 13%. Against the background of treadmill with bodyweight support and VR, there is an increase in the QoL of
patients after stroke in all categories of the questionnaire.
Conclusions. So, against the background of the use of a treadmill with virtual reality and weight support, there is an
improvement in motor function, an increase in the quality of life and stabilization of the emotional background of patients after
a stroke.
