Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of pelvic intensive training on gait of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 60 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into control group (n=30) and observation group (n=30). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training. The observation group received pelvic intensive training, twice a day, additionally. The average step length, the time of each foot and the 3-minute walking distance were tested before and 8 weeks after treatment with Biodex Gait Trainer 2. Results The average step length and the time of each foot of both sides and the 3 minutes walking distance were significantly better after treatment (P<0.001). And the indexes were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Pelvic intensive training can improve the gait of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
