This study investigated the effectiveness of using special training machines for children with intellectual disabilities to strengthen their body's inner muscles and improve their ability to maintain standing posture and improve walking movement. The participants were 23 high school age boys with intellectual disabilities who had difficulties expressing greetings, and needed to be led by the hand when walking. Four special training machines were used for walking movements, for standing and walking balance, for leg-hip extension, and for ipsilateral movement in a sitting position. Each participant underwent 30 min. of training once a week over a 3-mo. period during school time. Body control ability required to perform each training exercise was improved over the training period. A significant improvement was observed in the 50-m dash, mean 10-m walk time, and 10-m obstacle course walk. The hip joint split angle showed a significant increase. Legal guardians all reported their child had "improved and/or progressed" for each of the targeted movements.
本研究旨在探讨使用特殊训练器械对智障儿童进行身体内部肌肉强化训练的效果，以帮助他们改善维持站立姿势和步行运动的能力。研究对象为 23 名高中年龄的智障男孩，他们在表达问候方面存在困难，在行走时需要被牵手引导。使用了四种特殊的训练器械，分别用于步行运动、站立和步行平衡、腿部髋关节伸展以及坐姿同侧运动。每个参与者在学校时间内每周接受一次 30 分钟的训练，为期 3 个月。在训练期间，参与者完成每个训练动作所需的身体控制能力得到了提高。50 米短跑、平均 10 米步行时间和 10 米障碍物行走时间均有显著改善。髋关节劈叉角度也有显著增加。法定监护人都报告说，他们的孩子在每个目标运动项目中都有“改善和/或进步”。
