Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of task-oriented training on trunk stabilization, coordination of the lower extremities, and dynamic balance of patients with stroke.
Methods: Ten patients with stroke were randomly divided into two groups of five patients each who met the selection criteria. The training was conducted five times a week for 60 minutes. The experimental group received task-oriented training and general physical therapy, while the control group received only general physical therapy. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences between the groups, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare differences between pre- and post-intervention within each group.
Results: Trunk stabilization was measured using the trunk impairment scale. Only the coordination assessment on the trunk impairment scale was statistically significant after intervention in the experimental group (p = 0.046) and between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.029). The LEMOCT, figure-of-8 walk test (F8WT), timed up-and-go (TUG) test results were not statistically significantly different in the group after intervention. However, the F8WT and TUG test results showed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.029).
Conclusion: The task-oriented training showed positive effects on the trunk stabilization, coordination of the
lower extremities, and dynamic balance of the patients with stroke.
