Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find the effectiveness of Korean medical treatment on sense of balance by cerebral hemorrhage. Gaitview analysis and Berg balance scale(BBS) research were used to evaluate it.

Before taking treatment, we took gaitview analysis and BBS first to analyze the ability of balance and gait of patients. In gaitview analysis, we checked Center of gravity(COG), pressure ratio, ave pressure, gait time ratio, statistic score. For about 10 days, patients were given acupuncture treatment, herbal medicine and physical therapy. Afterwards, we compared patients’ progression between before-treatment and after-treatment with the same evaluation scale.
Results:In the period of treatment, patients showed static and dynamic index change within the normal range or increase. And in statistic score, 2 cases score are increased. In BBS, all cases score are increased.
