Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of core stability training on motor function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. MethodsSixty-eight patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into a treatment group (34 cases) and a control group (34 cases).Both groups were given regular rehabilitation training.The patients in the treatment group also were taught core stability training.The trunk control test (TCT),Berg's balance scale (BBS),the modified Barthel index (MBI),functional ambulation categories (FACs) and the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA) were used to assess motor function before and after treatment. ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in average TCT scores,BBS scores,FACs,M BI scores and FMA scores after treatment.The gains in the treatment group were significantly superior to those in the control group.The patients'trunk control was positively correlated with the BBS,MBI,FAC and FMA results.Conclusion Core stability training can improve the motor function of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
