Abstract
Objective To study the effect of MOTOmed training on balance function among patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injuries. Methods A total of 60 patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injuries were selected by random number from January 2009 to August 2013, and they were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given the conventional rehabilitation training, while the observation group was given the MOTOmed training. Before rehabilitation, and four courses and eight courses after rehabilitation training, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to evaluate the balance function. Results Four courses and eight courses after rehabilitation training, the BBS score of the observation group were (27.37±5.38) and (33.30±4.90), which were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=7.569, 7.796, respectively; P<0.01). Conclusions The MOTOmed training combined with routine rehabilitation training can improve the balance function in patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury. Key words: MOTOmed training; Spinal cord injury; Balance function
