Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of our devised hybrid physiotherapy regime using an anti-gravity treadmill and a low-frequency electrical stimulation device in patients with the lower limb osteoarthritis. From the first study on patients with conservative treatment, it was found that walking training on an anti-gravity treadmill can perform aerobic exercise equal to or more than walking on a flat ground. In addition, from the study on patients after surgical treatment, hybrid physiotherapy made it possible to perform muscle strength training and walking / endurance training immediately after surgery, and leg muscle strength and walking / endurance were maintained. It was also suggested that hybrid physiotherapy might accelerate the return to home.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は下肢変形性関節症患者さんに対する、新しいリハビリテーションプログラムの初めての効果検証であった。反重力トレッドミルを用いた新しいリハビリテーションは、疼痛を有する下肢変形性関節症患者さんに対しても有効な有酸素運動を行えることができ、身体機能を維持改善し、廃用症候群の予防に繋がると考えられた。また、ハイブリッドフィジオセラピーによって、下肢変形性関節症術後早期の身体機能を維持する事が出来るため、急性期病院での新しい術後リハビリテーションプログラムとしても有用であり、入院期間の短縮や在宅復帰に繋がると考えられた。
