Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out how gait training with shoulder-back assistive device affects dynamic and static bal- ance, gait of patients with stroke and to help improve body alignment, balance, and gait ability in stroke patients.
Methods: Measurements were taken of the 20 subjects before intervention without shoulder-back assistive device, after intervention with device, and follow up after an hour compared. Berg balance scale used to evaluate dynamic balance; wii balance board was used to measure static balance; and gait ability were measured by timed up and go test and 10-meter walk test. To analyze the results, a one- way repeated measures analysis of variance was implemented to compare the measurements.
Results: The results showed that, after wearing the shoulder-back assistive device, the subjects’ dynamic balance statistically significant- ly improved; no statistically significant difference was observed in static balance, although their balance ability was enhanced; and their increase in gait ability was statistically significant.
Conclusion: This study proved that gait training combined with a shoulder-back assistive device positively impacted dynamic and static balance, gait of patients with stroke.
