Abstract
Background: Previous studies have suggested that the Pro-Kin visual feedback balance system can promote the recovery of balance function in stroke patients.
Objectives: However, this system has not been used effectively in the early stages of stroke rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Pro-Kin system combined with weight loss system for the early recovery of balance and walking ability following a stroke.
Methods: A total of 62 patients who underwent radiological diagnosis of stroke were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (n = 31) and a treatment group (n = 31). Both groups received conventional balance training. The treatment group also received training on the Pro-Kin system in conjunction with a weight loss system. Balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed 'Up & Go' (TUG) test and Pro-Kin system. Walking ability was assessed using the Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC). The tests were performed before the start of treatment and on the 4th week following the training. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups before training.
Results: After 4 weeks of training in both groups, there were significant improvements in balance and walking ability. BBS values and FAC were significantly higher (p < 0.01), TUG times, ellipse area and motion trajectory length were significantly reduced (p < 0.01, p < 0.05) after training. The treatment group outperformed the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a positive correlation between balance function and walking ability (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The Pro-Kin system combined with weight loss system is a viable method that promotes early reconstruction of balance and walking ability following a stroke.

背景：先前的研究表明，Pro-Kin 视觉反馈平衡系统可以促进中风患者平衡功能的恢复：以前的研究表明，Pro-Kin 视觉反馈平衡系统可以促进中风患者平衡功能的恢复：然而，该系统在脑卒中康复的早期阶段并未得到有效应用。本研究旨在探讨 Pro-Kin 系统结合减重系统对脑卒中后早期平衡和行走能力恢复的影响：方法：将接受放射诊断的 62 名脑卒中患者随机分为两组：对照组（31 人）和治疗组（31 人）。两组均接受常规平衡训练。治疗组还接受了 Pro-Kin 系统和减肥系统的训练。使用伯格平衡量表 (BBS)、定时 "起立行走"(TUG) 测试和 Pro-Kin 系统测量平衡能力。步行能力采用功能性走动分类法（FAC）进行评估。测试分别在治疗开始前和训练后第 4 周进行。两组在训练前的差异无统计学意义：结果：训练 4 周后，两组患者的平衡能力和行走能力均有明显改善。BBS 值和 FAC 均明显提高（p p p p p p p 结论）：Pro-Kin 系统与减重系统相结合是一种可行的方法，可促进中风后平衡和行走能力的早期重建：临床试验编号：ChiCTR1900026370。https://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojEN.html?proj=43736。
