|
|
PURPOSE : The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of the training using Pedalo equipment on balance function in post-stroke patients.
METHODS : The present study was case-series. Ten post-stroke patients participated in the study. Participants performed the training using Pedalo equipment. The training using four Pedalo equipment lasted 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Force platform, Berg Balance Scale(BBS), and Timed Up and Go(TUG) test were used to assess balance ability before and after training.
RESULTS : After training using Pedalo equipment, there were significantly improved on path length and sway velocity of post-stroke patients in the both of eye open and - close conditions comparing with baseline. Also, on the BBS and TUG, there were significant improvements after training.
CONCLUSION : The results of this study showed that the training using Pedalo equipment may be effective on mproving the balance ability in the post-stroke patients.hrough this study, we were able to confirm the potential of training using Pedalo equipment as an intervention in the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients.
