Background: The purposes of this study were to examine whether “Berg Balance Sale(BBS)” had influence on the improvement of stroke patient’s balancing ability, and to identify whether the effects had significant differences to these three groups that different frequency of BBS evaluation. Subjects were divided into three groups, a daily evaluating group (n＝12), weekly evaluating group (n＝12), and group that evaluating when admit and discharge (n＝12).
Methods: All patients were treated general neurorehabilitative physical therapy for daily during 4 weeks. All patients of these groups were evaluated balance function by using of BBS balance testing tool.
Results: At the first week and after 4 weeks, balance function that of these groups was improved significantly (p＜,05). Especially, daily evaluating group was improved the most. In the comparison differences between 3 groups, daily evaluating group and weekly evaluating group, daily evaluating group and group that evaluating when admit and discharge were exhibited differences significantly. But there was no significant difference between weekly evaluating group and group that evaluating when admit and discharge.
Conclusion: According to the results as presented above, testing method, BBS is effects on stroke patient’s balancing ability considerably. And if BBS which can apply evaluate balance function properly apply with conventional neurorehabilitative physical therapy, stroke patients would obtain significant effects on the improvement of balancing ability.
