Beneficios del sistema Lokomat en pacientes con lesiones neurológicas que asistieron al hospital básico de Duran en el periodo 2017 - 2019.

Abstract

Neurological lesions are a group of disorders that infer a type of alteration or disease in the motor and sensory fibers outside the central nervous system, which extend to the neuromuscular junction. The objective of this research was to establish the benefit of the Lokomat system for the re-education in the gait of patients with neurological injuries of the Durán Basic Hospital during the period 2017-2019. The present research work is of a quantitative approach and with a descriptive scope. The population consisted of 60 patients with neurological injuries, who follow treatment with the Lokomat mechanical robotic system, with an average age between 30 and 60 years, in the period 2017 - 2019. The results obtained from neurological patients Using the motor scale, Glasgow scale, speed and strength test, it was found on the final motor scale according to the different pathologies, it is observed that 57% are able to locate pain, 38% obey orders and only 5% withdraw to pain. According to the Glasgow scale, it was found that 57% have a motor response, 15% have a verbal response and a motor response. Concluding that the Lokomat robotic system benefits motor functionality, coordination, body balance and reeducation of gait, providing a better quality of life to patients with neurological injuries.
