Abstract:
A total of 60 hemiplegic patients after stroke were divided randomly into 2 groups.The control group received conventional rehabilitation training while the treatment group isokinetic training based on conventional rehabilitation training.Both groups were trained for 8 weeks.Results showed the differences of peak torque of knee flexors and extensors were significant between two groups (P ＜ 0.01).The ratio of flexion and extension showed significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).The treatment group was superior to control group in walking ability (P ＜ 0.01).Therefore isokinetic training provides significant improvement in stability of knees and walking ability in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
