This study is to find out the effects on function recovery, balance and walking by applying repetitive excercise therapy, balance training with machines and walking training on treadmill for the functional recovery of stroke patients
The study is based on the 43 patients who have met the requirements for this study. They have been diagnosed for the stroke caused by the cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage from at K hospital located in Daegu Buk-gu. The groups are composed a group of 15 people who performed excercise therapy in addition to the previous excercise therapy with machine, the other group of 14 people who performed balance training using machines in addition to previous excercise therapy, and another group of 14 people who performed gait training on the treadmill in addition to previous physical therapy. The group of repetitive excercise therapy performed total 3 sessions of each training 30 minutes per session for 8 weeks. The group of balance training using machines performed total 3 sessions of each training 30 minutes per session for 8 weeks. The group of treadmill gait training performed total 3 sessions of each training 40 minutes per session for 8 weeks. We checked the gait variables, which are contact surface of the paralyzed foot, step length of the paralyzed foot, stride, step time, H-H base of support, gait velocity, 10M gait velocity, TUG by using RS-scan. For balance ability, we used Good Balance System to check M-L sway speed, A-P sway speed, M-L sway speed while closing the eyes, A-P sway speed while closing the eyes, total distance, A-P distance before and after the body centered, body center M-L distance, and Berg balance scale. The results of functional recovery changes in each group by collecting the data with MAS, PASS are as follows
The results of the measurement analysis were summarized as follows :
The group of gait training using treadmill shows significant differences in gait variables, which are the forefoot and rearfoot contact surface of the paralytic side, stride, gait velocity, step length, midfoot contact surface, step time of the paralytic side, 10M gait velocity, T.U.G, H-H base of support, based on the difference in time and balance variables, which are M-L sway speed while closing the eyes, A-P sway speed while opening the eyes, body center total distance, A-P sway speed while closing the eyes, pre and post-body center A-P distance, body center M-L distance, and BBS, based on the difference in time and functional recovery variables, which are MAS and PASS, based on the difference in time.
The group of balance training using shows significant differences in gait variables, which are the forefoot and rearfoot contact surface of the paralytic side, stride, gait velocity, step length, midfoot contact surface, step time of the paralytic side, 10M gait velocity, TUG, H-H base of support, based on the difference in time and balance variables, which are M-L sway speed while closing the eyes, M-L sway speed while opening the eyes, A-P sway speed while closing the eyes, body center total distance, body center A-P distance, body center M-L distance, and BBS, based on the difference in time and functional recovery variables, which are MAS and PASS, based on the difference in time.
The group of repetitive excercise therapy using shows significant differences in gait variables, which are the forefoot and rearfoot contact surface of the paralytic side, stride, gait velocity, step length, midfoot contact surface, step time of the paralytic side, 10M gait velocity, T.U.G, H-H base of support, based on the difference in time and balance variables, which are M-L sway speed while closing the eyes, M-L sway speed while opening the eyes, A-P sway speed while closing the eyes, A-P sway speed while closing the eyes, body center total distance, body center A-P distance, body center M-L distance, and BBS, based on the difference in time andf unctional recovery variables, which are M.A.S and PASS, based on the difference in time..
As a result, the excercise therapy group with previous excercise therapy and additional excercise therapy with therapist, the balance training group using machines, and the gait training group using treadmill show significant differences in gait, balance, and functional recovery in stroke patients after 4 weeks and 8 weeks based on the time passed. Therefore, repetitive excercise therapy, balance training using machines, and gait training with treadmill in the stoke patients help recovery of physical functions which concludes that repetitive excercise therapy is the helping recovery of stroke patients.
