Purpose: Short foot exercise is a well-known treatment for foot intrinsic muscles. In this study, we investigated whether the addition of short foot exercise could enhance the effects of conventional physical therapy on quiet standing following a stroke.
Methods: Conventional therapeutic exercise group (N=17) was received conventional therapeutic exercise with physical therapists to increase the strength of affected lower limb for 6-weeks, 90 minutes/day, 5-day/week. Short foot exercise with conventional therapeutic exercise group (N=17) received conventional therapeutic exercise and short foot exercise with same intensity. The surface elapsed area was assessed by BioRescue (RM Ingenierie, France).
Results: There were no significant differences between conventional therapeutic exercise group and short foot exercise with conventional therapeutic exercise group in the surface elapsed area (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Short Foot Exercise combined with conventional therapeutic exercise program appeared to show no benefit on quiet stance.
