Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of attention training, spatial and position sensation training and lower limb coordination training on balance and movement coordination of post-stroke patients. Methods 100 stroke patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 50 in each. The control group received routine rehabilitation, and the observation group received attention training, spatial and position sensation training and lower limb coordination training additionally. Both groups were assessed with Static Balance Test Equipment and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and 1 month after training. Results The balance function improved after training (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the length of path (L), the covered area (A) and L/A in observation group significantly decreased (P<0.001), and the BBS score significantly increased (P<0.001) after training. Conclusion Strategic and targeted training such as attention training, spatial and position sensation training and coordination training, could improve static balance of post-stroke patients.
