Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : This study investigated the effects of progressive task-oriented lower extremity strength exercise (PTLESE) on the pulmonary function, gait endurance, and activities of daily living in patients with chronic stroke.
Methods : Ten patients with chronic stroke volunteered for this study. The PTLESE was performed for 30 minutes per day, five times a week, for four weeks. Pulmonary function was measured using spirometry. Gait endurance was assessed using a six-minute walk test. The Korean version of a modified Barthel Index was conducted to measure activities of daily living. A paired t-test was performed to compare within-group changes before and after the PTLESE.
Results : After the exercise, there was a significant within-group change in pulmonary function, gait endurance, and activities of daily living (p < 0 .05) .
Conclusion : Application of PTLESE may be favorable for patients with chronic stroke, considering its effects on pulmonary function, gait endurance, and activities of daily living.
