Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of core stability and lower limb extensor strength exercise
on postural control and walking of patients with stroke.
Methods: 16 stroke patients participated in this study, there were two groups, core stability and lower limb strength exercise group and control group, there were 8 subjects in each groups. There were participate in core stability and lower limb strength exercise for 4 weeks. timed up and go test (TUG) and MTD systems for postural control and walking were measured and compared before and after the treatment.
Results: First, the core stability and lower limb strength exercise improved postural control of patients with stroke by
weight shifting to the affected side. Second, the core stability and lower limb strength exercise improved walking of
patients with stroke by reducing TUG time. Third, the core stability and lower limb strength exercise improved postural
control ability of patients with stroke by increasing postural assessment scale for stroke (PASS).
Conclusion: A core strength and lower limb exercise was effective on both postural control and walking. Therefore, further research is needed to investigate about the core stability and lower limb strength exercise related to improving the postural control and walking of patients with stroke.
