Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of task-oriented training in water on balance and gait in patients with hemiplegia.
Methods: Thirty-one patients with hemiplegia were randomly assigned into three groups: conventional therapeutic exercise (CTE), single-task training (STT), and dual-task training (DTT). The CTE group performed general exercise therapy, and the STT and DTT groups performed single-task and dual-task training, respectively, in the water. All groups performed the therapy five times a week, for 4 weeks.
Results: All groups showed significant difference in the timed up and go test (TUG), Berg balance scale (BBS), functional gait assessment (FGA), and weight-bearing deviation (WBD) within the group. Only the BBS showed significant difference between the DTT and CTE groups.
Conclusion: Task-oriented training in water was effective to improve balance and gait in patients with hemiplegia and dual-task training in water is more effective in some cases.
