Abstract:

To summarize the nursing care of an elderly stroke patient with artificial airway who underwent rehabilitation training using a lower limb exoskeleton robot. In addressing the rehabilitation challenges posed by the patient’s advanced age and the presence of an artificial airway，a core team was established to integrate robotics with critical care rehabilitation nursing. A scientifically designed robotic rehabilitation training plan was developed，incorporating visual monitoring. Comprehensive airway assessment and management were implemented to ensure the safety of robotic training. Dynamic nutritional monitoring was conducted to enhance the patient’s tolerance to robotic rehabilitation. Psychological interventions based on acceptance and commitment therapy （ACT） were utilized to improve adherence to the robotic training regimen. After 180 days of rehabilitation and nursing，the patient showed significant improvement in bilateral limb muscle strength，upper limb grip strength，and a noticeable increase in calf circumference.
