Purpose: The study was to investigate effects of extensor activation of the affected lower limb on repetitive sit-to-stand
and walking in patient with hemiplegia.
Methods: A subject received extensor activation training on the affected lower limb. The treatment was conducted 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week for four weeks. Subject was measured with Five times sit to stand test (FTSTS) and Timed “Up & Go” test (TUG).
Results: FTSTS and TUG were reduced after the intervention from 64 seconds to 55 second and from 88 seconds to 82 seconds respectively.
Conclusion: This study showed that the intervention including activating extensor muscles and widening base of support on the hemi-side foot provided benefits on repetitive sit-to-stand and walking positively.
