Abstract

|
|
This study aimed to identify the effect of a trunk stability exercise using visual feedback on the motor function, balance and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with acute stroke. eleven subjects with post-stroke hemiparesis volunteered to participate in this study. All subjects underwent the trunk stability exercise for averaging 20 minutes daily for 4 weeks (total of 20 sesions). Assessment tools were made with Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA), Berg balance scale (BBS), timed up and go test (TUG) and modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after the 4-week training period. FMA, BBS, TUG and MBI showed significant improvement after trunk stability exercise using visual feedback (p<0.05). This study demonstrates that a turnk stability exercise using visual feedback may be favorable for enhancing motor function, balance and ADL of patients with acute stroke. This study provides valuable information for future studies in this field. Further studies with wider range of subjects and longer experiment span are required to strengthen the results of this study.
