Abstract

|
Purpose: The study objective was to investigate the effects of forced induction weightsupported training conducted on an
unstable surface on the gait of stroke patients.
Methods: Fifteen hemiplegic patients diagnosed with stroke, the onset of which had occurred ≥ 6 months, were included in the study. Forced induction weightsupported training was performed on an unstable surface (patients) and on stable surface (the control group). The training was performed over six weeks, five times a week, for a duration of 30 minutes using an FDMT Treadmill System® for Biomechanical Gait Analysis (Zebris Medical, Cuxhaven, Germany) and the 10 Metre Walk Test (10MWT).
Results: Statistically significant differences between the nonparalyzed side stance phase and nonparalyzed side swing phase (p<.05), and between stance and swing symmetry (p<.05) in the study group, were found. A statistically significant difference was also observed between the paralyzed side stance phase and paralyzed side swing phase in the control group (p<.05).
Conclusion: The use of forced induction weightsupported training, conducted on unstable surface, was effective in improving symmetry and speed in the gait of hemiplegic patients.
