Purpose: To analyze the effect of home-visiting physical therapy, after applying a stabilization exerciseprogram that can easily be performed at home by professionals to chronic stroke patients and analyzingbalance ability, daily life movements, and pulmonary function.
Methods: A sample of 30 patients diagnosed with hemiparesis due to stroke was assigned to two groups:a group that received on-site physical therapy (group I) and a group that received on-site physical therapycombined with trunk stabilization exercise (group II). After the intervention twice a week for eight weeks, thebalance ability, daily life movements, and pulmonary function of the subjects were measured. A paired-samplet-test was performed to determine differences before and after intervention within the groups, and analysisof covariance was performed to determine differences between the groups.
Results: After the intervention, the Berg balance test score, MBI score, and lung function increased in bothgroups, with a statistically significant pre-post difference (p<.05). In the comparison between groups, theBerg balance test score, MBI score, and lung function increased more significantly in group Ⅱ than in groupⅠ, showing a statistically significant difference (p<.05).
Conclusion: It was found that an intervention combining home-visiting physical therapy and trunk stabilizationexercises increases more efficiently the balance ability, ability to perform activities of daily living, andpulmonary function in stroke patients at home.
