Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of backward gait training of body weight support treadmillcombined with functional electric Stimulation (FES) on balance and gait ability in chronic stroke patients.
Methods: Five traumatic brain injury (TBI) participants were participated in the study. Each participant receivedbackward gait training of body weight support treadmill program combined with FES. An evaluation wasperformed before the training was commenced and again 8 weeks after the training was initiated. Wemeasured balance ability, center of pressure (COP), limited of stability (LOS), berg balance scale (BBS), gaitability (Optogait) and 10-Meter walking test (10WT).
Results: In balance and gait ability, participants showed a significant difference between pre- and postintervention(p<.05).
Conclusion: The backward gait training of body weight support treadmill combined with FES resulted insignificant improvements in balance and gait ability.
