This study aimed to identify the effects of a 4-week of treadmill training focusing on postural alignment corrected on a three-dimensional plane using visual feedback in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis. Two patients with chronic stroke participated in the study. Treadmill training taken under postural alignment corrected on a three-dimensional plane using visual feedback was performed for 1 hour, three times per week for a period of 4 weeks (a total of 12 sessions) using the Functional Training System (FTS®). Timed up to go test (TUG), stair up test, Figure-of walk test (F8WT), and Rivermead mobility index (RMI) measured three times; pre-test, post-test, and 4-week follow-ups. TUG, stair up test, F8WT, and RMI scores improved after intervention in the results. Furthermore, stair up test, F8WT, and RMI scores were favorably maintained at the 4-week follow-ups. These findings suggest that the treadmill walking training focusing on 3-dimensional postural correction using visual feedback may be a beneficial methods for improving the walking and balance ability in patients with chronic stroke.
