傾斜床角度改變對下肢部分載重之影響
Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of partial weight bearing in lower extremities by tilt table elevation, 15 healthy young men had been tested.This clinical study was divided into two parts: fitst, two electronic weight scales from the weight bearing machine were put on the standing broad of the tilt table, then changed the tilting angle from 15° ,30°,45°,60°,75° to 90°, recorded the weight distribution of right and left extrernities;second, elevated one extremities by wood pieces, then changed the tilting angle, recorded the different weight bearing of right and left lower extremities. The result of the first study showed that the two extremities had same weight bearing. The higher the angle of tilt table, the larger weight bearing of the two lower extremities, and the weight bearing was equel to sin θ of tilting angle. The second study showed no constant distribution of weight bearing of the two lower extremities. Due to the above findings, so suggest when patients need tilt table for partial weight bearing training, standing on the tilt table by two lower extremities with equel height, as the first study prescribed, will reach the established goal.
