Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of exercise of the core musculature on motor and balance function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods A total of 80 patients were divided into observation group(n=40) and control group(n=40). All the patients received regularly rehabilitation, and the patients in the observation group received the exercise of the core musculature in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Balance subscale of the Fugl-Meyer test(FM-B), modified Barthel Index(MBI), FAC, timed “up and go” test (TUGT), maximum walking speed (MWS) before treatment and after 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Results The scores of FMA, FM-B, MBI, FAC, TUGT and MWS improved significantly in both groups after 6 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment compared with before treat-ment (P<0.05). After 6 weeks of treatment, FMA, FM-B, MBI, FAC, TUGT, MWS scores were not significantly dif-ferent compared in two groups (P>0.05). After 12 weeks of treatment, FMA, FM-B, MBI, FAC, TUGT, MWS scores were significantly different compared in two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The exercise of the core musculature can obviously improve motor and balance function of stroke patients.
