摘要:


文题释义:

脊髓损伤:是由于创伤性或非创伤性原因对脊髓造成损伤,导致患者出现运动、感觉及大小便等功能障碍的严重致残性疾病,常见引起截瘫,甚至四肢瘫痪。 
外骨骼机器人辅助步行:是一种新型辅助步行技术,由典型穿戴外骨骼机器人设备执行,患者通过惯性测量单元、压力传感器及驱动器等传达运动意图,与外骨骼形成人机紧耦合系统,控制外骨骼机器人完成对应肢体动作,从而实现康复训练或辅助步行运动。


背景:脊髓损伤危害严重,损伤后步行功能障碍最影响患者的日常生活能力,在该领域运用外骨骼机器人开展辅助步行康复研究日趋活跃。

目的:应用CiteSpace可视化软件绘制脊髓损伤后外骨骼机器人辅助步行为主题的科学知识图谱,并探讨近10年该领域研究现状、热点及未来趋势,为该领域后续科学研究和临床运用提供借鉴。
方法:利用Web of Science核心集数据库通过布尔逻辑运算符进行主题词检索,选择语种英语,检索策略:TS=“spinal cord injury OR SCI”AND“walk OR walking”AND“robot OR exoskeleton OR (exoskeleton-assisted walking) OR EAW”,利用知识图谱软件CiteSpace 6.2.R4对去重后获得的高质量文献进行发文量、国家/研究机构合作、高影响力作者/文献共被引、关键词共现/聚类/突现等主题热点、国际前沿趋势可视化分析,并绘制科学知识图谱。

结果与结论:①共纳入544篇高质量文献,近10年该领域发文量、总被引频次呈增长趋势;②发文量排名前3的国家依次是美国、中国、意大利,发文量排名前3研究机构是美国退伍军人事务部、美国退伍军人健康管理局、瑞士联邦理工学院;③被引文献频次最高(167次)和中介中心性最高(0.13)的作者均为美国宾夕法尼亚Esquenazi A团队,在该领域具有较高影响力;④对被引频次、中介中心性前5共被引文献分析显示:目前针对脊髓损伤患者配备动力外骨骼设备步行康复研究重点包括在机构、家庭等真实环境中步行康复训练安全性判断、优势分析、个体化培训计划设计,动力外骨骼设备应用于胸椎及以下节段运动功能完全丧失脊髓损伤患者辅助步行效果优劣、影响因素及应用潜力等;⑤近年该领域研究热点集中于个体化(individuals)、步态(gait)、动力外骨骼( powered exoskeleton)、减重支持(body weight support)、功能性电刺激(functional electrical stimulation)、康复(rehabilitation)、辅助技术(assistive technology)、步行活动(ambulation)、恢复(recovery)等内容;⑥该领域研究早期多应用于脑卒中患者,前沿包括减重支持、往复式步态矫形器及功能性电刺激等技术手段,脊髓损伤外骨骼机器人辅助步行康复研究近年呈现上升趋势,关注点逐渐向以适应性控制为机制的医用下肢外骨骼设备研制、安全性提升、应用潜力挖掘等前沿方向转变,研究检测手段注重联合功能性近红外光谱成像等高端技术,而关注患者生活质量、提升运动训练能力及改善机体结构为该领域未来的研究热点。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury is a serious hazard. Walking dysfunction affects the patients’ quality of life most. Researches on assisted-walking with exoskeleton robots on patients with spinal cord injury have become increasingly active.
OBJECTIVE: To map scientific researches of exoskeleton-assisted walking after spinal cord injury using the CiteSpace software, and to discuss the state of art, cutting-edges in the past 10 years, and trends of research in this field, in hope of providing insights for future investigations and clinical applications.
METHODS: Using the Web of Science core database to conduct subject term search by Boolean logical operators, the language English was selected, search strategy: TS=“spinal cord injury OR SCI” AND “walk OR walking” AND “robot OR exoskeleton OR (exoskeleton-assisted walking) OR EAW”. The knowledge graph software CiteSpace 6.2.R4 was used to de-emphasize the high-quality literature. The high-quality literature obtained after reweighting was subjected to visualization analysis of hotspots and international frontier trends, such as the number of publications, country/research institution cooperation, high-influence authors/literature co-citation, keyword co-occurrence/clustering/emergence, and the scientific knowledge graph was mapped.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 544 high-quality articles were included, and the number of articles and total citation frequency in this field have shown an increasing trend in the past 10 years. (2) The top 3 countries in terms of number of publications are the USA, China, and Italy, and the top 3 research institutions are the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Veterans Health Administration, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Domian. (3) The authors with the highest citation frequency (167) and betweenness centrality (0.13) are Professor Esquenazi A, University of Pennsylvania, USA, showing a high influence in this field. (4) The analysis of the top 5 cited documents in terms of citation frequency and betweenness centrality shows that: the current research on walking rehabilitation for spinal cord injury patients equipped with powered exoskeleton devices focuses on the judgment of the safety of walking rehabilitation training in real-life environments such as institutions and homes, analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of walking rehabilitation training, design of individualized training programs, and the advantages and disadvantages of the application of powered exoskeleton devices in assisted walking for patients with complete loss of locomotor function in thoracic vertebrae and the segments below, the factors affecting the effectiveness of assisted walking, and the potential for application. (5) In recent years, research in this field has focused on individuals, gait, powered exoskeleton, body weight support, functional electrical stimulation, rehabilitation, assistive technology, ambulation, recovery, and so on. (6) Early research in this field was mostly applied to stroke patients, and the frontier includes weight loss support, reciprocating gait orthosis, functional electrical stimulation and other technical means. Spinal cord injury exoskeleton-assisted walking rehabilitation research has shown an upward trend in recent years, and the focus of attention to the development of adaptive control as the mechanism of the medical lower extremity exoskeleton equipment, safety enhancement, the application of the potential to tap into the cutting-edge direction of the change, the research and detection means on the joint function of the near-infrared spectroscopic imaging and other high-end technologies, focusing on the quality of life of the patient to enhance the ability of athletic training, and to improve the body’s structure of the field of the future hotspots and the frontier of the research.
