|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization training on postural stability and
gait in stroke patient.
Methods : Subjects were recruited 30 patients with stroke. They were randomly assigned to either the
study group or control group. Both groups received equal amount of intervention sessions for 30 minutes a day, 3 times
a week for 8 weeks. Lumbar alignment was measured using flexible ruler, muscle activity was measured using surface
EMG, and gait characteristics were measured using 10m walk test.
Results : The study group showed significant changes in lumbar alignment, muscle activities in erector spinae muscle, hamstring muscle, and gait of the stroke patient.
Conclusion : Based on results of this study, lumbar stabilization training was effective therapeutic approach in improving postural stability and gait improvement in stroke patients.
