Abstract

[目的]急性期病院で脳卒中片麻痺患者に長下肢装具(KAFO)を作製することが回復期リハビリテーション病棟(回復期リハ病棟)退院時の歩行能力と下肢装具の使用継続の有無を調査した。[対象と方法]重度運動麻痺を呈した脳卒中片麻痺患者18名を対象とし、KAFOの作製群と非作製群に振り分け、機能的自立度評価法(FIM)の歩行と階段の経過と下肢装具の利用状況を調査した。[結果]両群ともにFIM歩行・階段が時間経過で有意な差を認めたが、作製群で回復期リハ病棟退院時のFIM歩行・階段と下肢装具の脱却割合に有意な差を認めた。[結語]急性期病院におけるKAFOの作製は、回復期リハ病棟退院時の歩行・階段能力改善と下肢装具脱却の効果があることが示唆された。(著者抄録)
