Background: The Regaining locomotor ability is a primary goal in post-stroke rehabilitation. Falls are commonly reported post-stroke. Hip orthosis(HOs) are often provided to improve safety and walking, but the effect of their use in the reduction of falls post-stroke is unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how newly designed pelvic belt orthosis can improve gait ability and dynamic balance of adults with Hemiparesis after stroke.
Participants and Methods: 22 patients who had hemiparesis after stroke participated in this study. The GAITRite system was used to measure spatial-temporal gain parameters and the balance system SD to measure dynamic balance. The data was analyzed using R version 3.3.1. Random forest, boosting algorithm, and MANOVA test were conducted to determine the effects of independent variables on dependent variables.
Results: The independent variable "group" has the most important value, which is approximately 25.42 (%IncMSE) representing a value three times greater than the second important predictor "height."
Conclusion: As a result of this research, the hypothesis is validated with conclusion that Pelvic Belt orthosis could be effectively used for improving gait ability and balance of the patients with post-stroke hemiparesis.
