Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic releaseing combined with active upper limb rehabilitation training robot for elbow stiffness.Methods 31 patients with elbow stiffness treated in Hongdu hospital of TCM from January 2018 to June 2021 were collected.After the study was approved by the hospital ethics committee and obtained the informed consent of the patients,they were randomly divided into two group.There were 15 cases in the control group and 16 cases in the observation group.The patients in the control group were treated with simple arthroscopic elbow releasing surgery.In the control group,there were 8 males and 7 females with an average age of (33.5±6.2)years.The observation group were treated with arthroscopic release surgery combined with adaptive tracking active upper limb rehabilitation training robot training.In the observation group,there were 10 males and 6 females with an average age of (37.2±5.2)years.The changes of range of motion(ROM)before and after operation were compared between the two groups,and the rehabilitation of elbow function was evaluated by Mayo score standard.Results The patients in both groups were followed up for 10 to15 months,with an average of (11.5±3.3)months.According to the Mayo score,excellent rate and joint range of motion of the two groups after operation were higher than those before operation,and the increase in the observation group was more obvious than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic releasing combined with adaptive tracking active upper limb rehabilitation training robot in the treatment of elbow stiffness is better than simple arthroscopic release in the improvement of elbow range of motion and function,and has a good clinical effect.
