Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the effect of consolidated trunk muscle training on balance and motor function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods96 patients were divided into treatment group (48 cases) and control group (48 cases). All the patients received regularly rehabilitation, and the patients in the treatment group received the control ability training in the trunk muscle in addition. They were assessed with Trunk Control Test (TCT)， Berg Balance Scale (BBS)， Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and walking speed (WS) before and after the treatment. ResultsThe scores of TCT, BBS, FAC, MBI, WS and FMA improved significantly in both groups after treatment (P<0.01)， and improved more in the treatment group than in control group (P<0.05). The scores of TCT correlated with those of BBS, MBI, FAC, FMA, and WS (P<0.05). ConclusionThe consolidated trunk muscle training can obviously improve balance and motor function of stroke patients.
