Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine effects of gait training using on treadmill with and without visual ·
auditory biofeedback on walking characteristic and balance in 30 hemiplegic patients.
Methods: 30 patients who consented were randomized as two group. The control group and experimental group performed conventional physical therapy. In addition control group performed gait training using on treadmill with visual · auditory biofeedback and experimental group performed gait training using on treadmill without visual · auditory biofeedback.
Results: To find out the effect, walking characteristic by Gait Trainer 2, balance ability by BBS, FRT were three times repeatedly measured at baseline before treatment and 6 weeks after treatment. Experimental group and Control group improved more significantly after six-weeks treatment in walking speed in gait characteristic. 3After a six weeks treatment, there was no significantly difference between the two groups in gait characteristic but symmetry index(stance phase, step length) in the experimental group showed a mean difference and the positive effects higher than the control group. Control group improved more significantly after six-weeks treatment in FRT in balance ability. . After a six-week treatment, there was no significantly difference between the two groups in balance ability but BBS in the experimental group showed a mean difference and the positive effects higher than the control group.
Conclusion: To summarize the result of this study, it is considered that gait training using on treadmill without visual · auditory biofeedback contributes to improve walking speed and FRT, gait training using on treadmill with visual · auditory biofeedback contributes to improve walking speed.
