[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of treadmill training with
the eyes closed and eyes open on the joint position sense of chronic stroke patients.
[Subjects and Methods] Thirty patients with chronic stroke participated in this study.
Patients performed the timed up and go test and were assigned to one of two treadmill
training groups with and without visual deprivation. The treadmill gait training for each
group lasted 40 minutes, and sessions were held 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The knee joint
proprioception was measured using the Biodex System Pro 3 before and after the
intervention. [Results] The knee joint proprioception of the treadmill training with
blocked vision group showed more significant improvement after the treadmill training
sessions than that of the eyes open group. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that
treadmill training with blocked vision may be useful for the proprioceptive sensory
rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke.Key words: Chronic stroke, Knee joint proprioception, Visual deprivation 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to verify the effect of sideways treadmill training
with and without visual blocking on the balance and gait function of patients with brain
lesions. [Subjects] Twenty-four stroke and traumatic brain injury subjects participated in
this study. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (12 subjects) and a
control group (12 subjects). [Methods] Each group executed a treadmill training session
for 20 minutes, three times a week, for 6 weeks. The sideways gait training on the
treadmill was performed with visual blocking by the experimental group and with normal
vision by the control group. A Biodex Gait Trainer 2 was used to assess the gait function.
It was used to measure walking speed, walking distance, step length, and stance time on
each foot. The Five-Times-Sit-To-Stand test (FTSST) and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) were
used as balance measures. [Results] The sideways gait training with visual blocking group
showed significantly improved walking speed, walking distance, step length, and stance
time on each foot after training; FTSST and TUG times also significantly improved after
training in the experimental group. Compared to the control group, the experimental group
showed significant increases in stance time on each foot. [Conclusion] Sideways gait
training on a treadmill with visual blocking performed by patients with brain lesions
significantly improved their balance and gait function.Key words: Brain lesions, Treadmill training, Visual block 相似文献

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stationary
cycling exercise on the balance and gait abilities of chronic stroke patients. [Subjects]
Thirty-two chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=16)
or a control group (n=16). [Methods] All of the subjects received the standard
rehabilitation program for 30 minutes, while the experimental group additionally
participated in a daily session of stationary cycling exercise for 30 minutes, 5 times per
week for 6 weeks. To assess balance function, the Berg Balance Scale and timed up-and-go
test were used. The 10-m walking test was conducted to assess gait function. [Results]
Both groups showed significant improvements in balance and gait abilities. The
improvements in the Berg Balance Scale and timed up-and-go test scores (balance), and 10-m
walking test score (gait) in the stationary cycling exercise group were significantly
greater than those in the control group. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that
stationary cycling exercise training is an effective intervention for increasing the
balance and gait abilities of chronic stroke patients. Therefore, we suggest that
stationary cycling training is suitable for stroke rehabilitation and may be used in
clinical practice.Key words: Gait, Balance, Stationary cycling 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill training
with a horizontal impeding force applied to the center of upper body mass on the gait and
balance of post-stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four subjects with
hemiplegia less than 3 months after stroke onset were randomly assigned to 2 groups: an
applied horizontal impeding force on treadmill training (experimental) group (n = 12), and
a control group (n = 12). Both groups walked on a treadmill at a comfortable or moderate
speed for 20 minutes per day, 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks after a pre-test. The
experimental group also had a horizontal impeding force applied to the center of their
upper body mass. [Results] All groups demonstrated significant improvement after 8 weeks
compared to baseline measurements. In intra-group comparisons, the subjects’ gait ability
(CGS, MGS, cadence, and step length) and balance ability (TUG, BBS, and FRT) significantly
improved. In inter-group comparisons, the experimental group’s improvement was
significantly better in CGS MGS, cadence, step length, TUG, and BBS, but not in FRT.
[Conclusion] Treadmill training was identified as an effective training method that
improved gait and balance ability. A horizontal impeding force applied during treadmill
training was more effective than treadmill walking training alone at improving the gait
and dynamic balance of patients with stroke.Key words: Treadmill gait, Horizontal impeding force, Upper body 相似文献

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of various dual task gait training methods
(motor dual task gait training, cognitive dual task gait training, and motor and cognitive
dual task gait training) on the balance and gait abilities of chronic stroke patients.
[Subjects and Methods] Thirty-three outpatients performed dual task gait training for 30
minutes per day, three times a week, for eight weeks from June to August, 2012. Balance
ability was measured pre-and posttest using the stability test index, the weight
distribution index, the functional reach test, the timed up and go test, and the four
square step test. Gait ability was measured by the 10 m walk test and a 6 min walk test
before and after the training. The paired t-test was used to compare measurements before
and after training within each group, and ANOVA was used to compare measurements before
and after training among the groups. [Results] Comparisons within each group indicated
significant differences in all variables between before and after the training in all
three groups. Comparison between the groups showed that the greatest improvements were
seen in all tests, except for the timed up and go test, following motor and cognitive dual
task gait training. [Conclusion] In a real walking environment, the motor and cognitive
dual task gait training was more effective at improving the balance and gait abilities of
chronic stroke patients than either the motor dual task gait training or the cognitive
dual task gait training alone.Key words: Stroke, Dual task, Balancing 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of a multifactorial fall prevention program
on balance, gait, and fear of falling in stroke patients. [Subjects] Twenty-five stroke
patients were divided randomly into multifactorial fall prevention program group (n=15)
and control treadmill group (n=10). [Methods] All interventions were applied for 30 min,
five times per week, for five weeks. The fall prevention program included interventions
based on the “Step Up to Stop Falls” initiative and educational interventions based on the
Department of Health guidelines. For those in the treadmill group, the speed was increased
gradually. The Korean falls efficacy scale and Korean activities-specific balance
confidence scale were used to assess fear of falling. To assess balance and walking
ability, the Korean performance-oriented mobility assessment scale and the 10-m and
6-minute walk tests were used. [Results] The fall prevention program interventions were
found to be very effective at improving gait, balance, and fear of falling compared with
the treadmill intervention and therefore seem appropriate for stroke patients.
[Conclusion] A multifactorial fall prevention program is effective at improving balance,
gait ability, and fear of falling. It is a more specific and broad intervention for
reducing falls among inpatients in facilities and hospitals.Key words: Multifactorial fall prevention, Balance, Gait ability 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate how the use of handrails during
treadmill walking affects the gait parameters of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods]
The participants, 30 hemiplegic stroke patients, were randomly allocated to one of three
groups: the NHG group (No Handrail group, n=10), the FHG group (Front handrail group,
n=10), and BHG group (Bilateral Handrail group, n=10). All the subjects’ performed
treadmill walking for 30 min, five days a week, for a period of eight weeks. Gait
parameters were evaluated using the RS-scan system. [Results] A statistically significant
difference in the HM (heel-medial) area of plantar foot pressure was observed between BHG
and NHG. Statistically significant difference in the HL (heel-lateral) area of plantar
foot pressure was observed between BHG and NHG, and between FHG and NHG. A statistically
significant difference in contact area of the rear foot was observed between BHG and NHG.
[Conclusion] The results of this study show that holding handrails during treadmill
training may enhance the improvement in the quality of patients’ gait (plantar foot
pressure, contact area of foot).Key words: Treadmill training, Handrails, Stroke 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of virtual dual-task treadmill
training using a real-world video recording of the gait of individuals with chronic
stroke. [Subjects] Forty chronic stroke survivors were randomly divided into two groups of
20 subjects each. [Methods] The experimental group performed virtual dual-task treadmill
training using a video recording for 30 minutes per session, three times a week for 4
weeks, whereas the control group performed only treadmill training for 30 minutes per
session, three times a week for 4 weeks. A video recording was performed in a large
supermarket, and the subjects could walk at their favorable speed on a treadmill. The
temporospatial gait variables were measured to examine the training effect. [Results] The
experimental and control groups showed statistically significant improvements in the gait
variables after training. The enhancement of gait ability was statistically better in the
experimental group than in the control group. [Conclusion] Our findings suggest that
virtual dual-task treadmill training using a video recording can improve the gait
parameters of chronic stroke survivors.Key words: Stroke, Gait, Video recording 相似文献

Body weight support treadmill and overground ambulation training for two patients with chronic disability secondary to stroke. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Body weight support (BWS) treadmill training has recently been shown to be effective for gait training following stroke, but few researchers have measured the usefulness of this intervention in enhancing function, and there are no reports in which BWS overground ambulation was studied. The purposes of this case report were (1) to report the feasibility and patient tolerance for using a BWS system for overground ambulation, (2) to measure the function of patients with chronic stroke (2 years post-stroke) prior to and following BWS treadmill and overground ambulation training, and (3) to describe a protocol used for patient treatment progression using BWS treadmill training. CASE DESCRIPTIONS: The participants were 2 women, aged 87 and 93 years, who had strokes more than 2 years before data collection. A 10-m timed walk test, the Berg Balance Scale, the gait portion of the Tinetti Gait and Balance Assessment, and a measure of step length were administered. Intervention consisted of BWS ambulation training 3 times a week for 6 to 7 weeks. Each day there was BWS treadmill and overground training. OUTCOMES: Participant A improved most in 10-m walking time and Berg Balance Scale score. Participant B exhibited improvements in step length and 10-m walking time. DISCUSSION: The outcomes suggest that very old patients with chronic functional deficits secondary to cerebrovascular accident tolerated BWS treadmill and overground ambulation training and made improvements following this intervention. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To conduct a pilot study of weight-supported ambulation training after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and to assess its safety. DESIGN: Quasiexperimental, repeated measures, single group. SETTING: Veterans Affairs medical center. PATIENTS: Three subjects with incomplete, chronic, thoracic SCIs; 2 classified as D on the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale and 1 as ASIA impairment scale C. INTERVENTION: Subjects participated in 12 weeks of training assisted by 2 physical therapists. The training consisted of walking on a treadmill while supported by a harness and a pneumatic suspension device. Support started at 40% of body weight and a treadmill speed of.16kmph, and progressed by reducing support and increasing treadmill speed and continuous treadmill walking time up to 20 minutes. Training was conducted for 1 hour per day, 5 days per week for 3 months. Treadmill walking occurred for 20 minutes during the sessions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gait function (speed, endurance, walking status, use of assistive device and orthotics); oxygen costs of walking; brain motor control assessment; self-report indices; ASIA classification; muscle function test; and safety. RESULTS: All 3 subjects increased gait speed (.118m/s initially to.318m/s after training 12wk), and gait endurance (20.3m/5min initially to 63.5m/5min). The oxygen costs decreased from 1.96 to 1.33mL x kg(-1) x m(-1) after 12 weeks of training. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study suggests that supported treadmill ambulation training can improve gait for individuals with incomplete SCIs by using objective gait measures. The self-report indices used have promise as patient-centered outcome measures of this new form of gait training. A larger, controlled study of this technique is warranted. 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of underwater
treadmill gait training on the balance ability of stroke patients. [Subjects] Twenty-two
patients with stroke were randomly assigned to an underwater treadmill group (n =11) or a
control group (n =11). [Methods] Both groups received general rehabilitation for 30 min
per session, 5 times per week, over a 4-week period. The underwater treadmill group
received additional underwater gait training for 30 min per session, 5 times per week,
over the same 4-week period. Static and dynamic balances were evaluated before and after
the intervention. [Results] The means of static and dynamic balance ability increased
significantly in both groups, but there was no significant difference between the two
groups. [Conclusion] Compared to the general rehabilitation program, underwater treadmill
gait training was not more effective at improving the balance ability of stroke patients
than land-based training.Key words: Stroke, Gait, Stability 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that treadmill training will improve peak fitness, while lowering the energy cost of hemiparetic gait in chronic stroke patients. DESIGN: Noncontrolled exercise intervention study with repeated-measures analysis. SETTING: Hospital-based senior exercise research center. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-three patients (mean age +/- standard deviation [SD] 67 +/- 8 yr) with chronic hemiparetic gait after remote (>6 mo) ischemic stroke. INTERVENTION: Three 40-minute sessions of treadmill exercise weekly for 6 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak exercise capacity (VO2peak) and rate of oxygen consumption during submaximal effort treadmill walking (economy of gait) by open circuit spirometry and ambulatory workload capacity before and after 3 and 6 months of training. RESULTS: Patients who completed 3 months of training (n = 21) increased their VO2peak +/- SD from 15.4 +/- 2.9 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) to 17.0 +/- 4.4 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) (p <.02) and lowered their oxygen demands of submaximal effort ambulation from 9.3 +/- 2 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) to 7.9 +/- 1.5 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) (p =.002), which enabled them to perform the same constant-load treadmill task using 20% less of their peak exercise capacity (62.3% +/- 17.2% vs 49.9% +/- 19.3%, p <.002). Gains in VO2peak and economy of gait plateaued by 3 months, while peak ambulatory workload capacity progressively increased by 39% (p <.001) over 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: Treadmill training improves physiologic fitness reserve in chronic stroke patients by increasing VO2peak while lowering the energy cost of hemiparetic gait, and increases peak ambulatory workload capacity. These improvements may enhance functional mobility in chronic stroke patients. 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the the effects of hippotherapy on gait
and balance ability in patients with stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty stroke patients
were randomly divided into a hippotherapy group and a treadmill group and they conducted
exercise for eight weeks. [Results] Berg Balance Scale score, gait velocity, and step
length asymmetry ratio were significantly improved in the group receiving hippotherapy
training. However, in the group receiving treadmill training, only step length asymmetry
ratio was significantly improved. In the comparison between the hippotherapy group and
treadmill group, there was no significant difference in Berg Balance Scale score, but a
significant difference was found in gait velocity and step length asymmetry ratio.
[Conclusion] The results of this study indicated that hippotherapy is a helpful treatment
for stroke patients.Key words: Stroke, Balance, Hippotherapy 相似文献

[Purpose] The few studies conducted on subacute stroke patients have focused only on gait
function improvement. This study therefore aimed to confirm the effect of balance training
with additional motor imagery on balance and gait improvement in subacute stroke patients.
[Subjects and Methods] Participants were divided into an experimental or control group.
The experimental group received balance training for 20 minutes/day with mental imagery
for 10 minutes/day, three days/week, for four weeks. The control group received only
balance training for 30 minutes. Before and after the 12 sessions, balance and gait
ability were assessed by the researcher and a physical therapist. [Results] After
completion of the 4-week intervention, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test,
Functional Reach Test, and Four Square Step test scores significantly increased in the
experimental group. In the control group, Berg Balance Scale and Functional Reach Test
scores significantly improved. Changes in the Timed Up and Go test, Functional Reach Test,
and Four Square Step Test scores after intervention were significantly higher in the
experimental than in the control group. [Conclusion] Specific balance training with
additional motor imagery may result in better rehabilitation outcomes of gait and balance
ability than balance training alone.Key words: Balance, Gait, Motor imagery 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation of gait parameters with
fear of falling in stroke survivors. [Subjects] In total, 12 patients with stroke
participated. [Methods] The subjects performed on a Biodex Gait Trainer 2 for 5 min to
evaluate characteristic gait parameters. The kinematic gait parameters measured were gait
speed, step cycle, step length, and time on each foot (step symmetry). All the subjects
also completed a fall anxiety survey. [Results] Correlations between gait parameters and
fear of falling scores were calculated. There was a moderate degree of correlation between
fear of falling scores and the step cycle item of gait parameters. [Conclusions] According
to our results, the step cycle gait parameter may be related to increased fall
anxiety.Key words: Fall anxiety, Gait parameter, Stroke 相似文献

[Purpose] To determine the effect of dual-task training with cognitive tasks on
cognitive and walking ability after stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty patients
diagnosed with stroke participated in this study. All participants were receiving a
traditional rehabilitation program 5 days a week. Dual-task and single-task training were
additionally performed for 4 weeks, 3 days a week. The Stroop test, Timed Up and Go (TUG)
test, 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), and Figure-of-8 Walk Test (F8WT) were used to measure
cognitive and walking abilities and were evaluated 3 times (before and after training and
at the 2-week follow-up). [Results] Dual-task training improved cognitive and walking
abilities, and dual-task training subjects’ performance was better than single-task
training subjects’ performance. In addition, these training benefits were maintained for 2
weeks. [Conclusion] Dual-task training improves cognitive and walking abilities of
patients with stroke.Key words: Cognitive, Gait, Dual task 相似文献

[Purpose] This study was conducted to find out the effect of arm swing during treadmill
training on the gait of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] This study subjects were
20 stroke subjects patients who were randomly assigned to either the experimental group
(EG) or the control group (CG), 10 subjects in each group. Therapists induced arm swing of
affected side of EG subjects using Nordic poles, while subjects in CG had the affected arm
restricted to prevent arm swing. Training was performed for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for
4 weeks. The timed up and go test (TUG), the dynamic gait index (DGI) and the 6-minute
walk test (6MWT) were assessed before and after the training. [Results] After the
training, there were no significant differences in the TUG times of EG and CG. There were
significant differences in the DGI and the 6-minute walking distance of EG, but not of CG.
There were also significant differences in the improvements of the DGI and the 6-minute
walking distance between the groups. [Conclusion] Arm swing training had a positive effect
on patients’ gait ability. Further studies are required to generalize the results of this
study.Key words: Arm swing, Gait, Stroke 相似文献

[Purpose] In stroke rehabilitation, gait assessment measures the maximal walking speed and six-minute walking distance, both of which have not been thoroughly investigated as determinants of walking ability. Here, we assessed the methods for evaluating these gait parameters using clinical data on hybrid assistive limb treatment compared with conventional training. [Participants and Methods] In total, 20 stroke patients (hybrid assistive limb group, n=9; conventional group, n=11) participated in this randomized controlled trial. For 12 sessions (three times per week in 4 weeks), the hybrid assistive limb and conventional groups performed gait treatment with hybrid assistive limb and conventional gait training, respectively. Short physical performance battery and walking ability (maximal walking speed and six-minute walking distance) were evaluated pre- and post-intervention. Subsequently, the patients were divided further into two groups: low- and high-balance score groups. [Results] Maximum walking speed and six-minute walking distance were significantly associated, with a positive relationship observed post-intervention. The high-balance score group showed a significant improvement in the six-minute walking distance compared to the low-balance score group. However, no significant improvement in maximum walking speed was observed between both groups. [Conclusion] Due to its sensitivity in detecting differences in balance, six-minute walking distance may be a useful assessment parameter for stroke rehabilitation, particularly in the recovery of physiological walking ability.Key words: Gait assessment, Stroke rehabilitation, Hybrid assistive limb 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to find whether a fast treadmill gait training
speed is effective for the gait training of stroke patients in the early rehabilitation
stage. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-nine stroke patients were the subjects of our
investigation. They walked on a treadmill with handrail supports at a fast speed (130% of
their comfortable gait speed in the 2nd week). The treadmill gaits of the patients were
recorded using a 3-dimensional analysis system at two and six weeks after their
admissions. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) of the temporal and spatial
parameters of the two periods were statistically analyzed. [Results] For all of the
patients, the ICCs of the measured parameters were greater than 0.58. In the case of
patients whose gait speeds of the two periods were close, the ICC units were greater than
0.7. [Conclusion] The fast gait speed training allowed us to expose the patients to a gait
speed that they were expected to acquire at a later stage of their rehabilitation. This
training method was found to be beneficial for the mildly paralyzed patients.Key words: Stroke, Treadmill, Fast speed 相似文献
