|
Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of isometric training of the scapular muscles on trunk muscle activity and trunk control in patients with stroke.
Methods: A total of 25 subjects with stroke were recruited. Subjects were assigned as block randomization to either the study group (n = 13), or the control group (n = 12). Electromyography (EMG) measured muscle activation of trunk flexor and extensors, and trunk control was measured with a Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS).
Results: Isometric training was significantly improved in the symmetricity of erector spinae thoracic (p<0.05). Trunk control was significantly increased in TIS score (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Isometric training of the scapular muscle can improve trunk muscle activity symmetry and trunk muscle control in patients with stroke.
