Abstract

|
This study aimed to determine the effects of trunk strengthening and stabilization exercise using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the balance and walking ability in patients with basal ganglia stroke. Five patients with basal ganglia stroke volunteered for this study. PNF trunk strengthening and stabilization exercise was performed for average 30 minutes per day, five times a week for four weeks (a total of 20 sessions). Outcome measures included one-leg standing test (OLST), Berg balance scale (BBS), and tandem walking test (TWT) for balance function, and 10 meters walk test (10WMT) for walking function. Significant improvements were found for the OLST, BBS, TWT, and 10WMT scores after the intervention (p<.05). These results suggest that trunk strengthening and stabilization exercise using the PNF may be favorably used for patients with basal ganglia stroke.
