Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of core stability training (CST) on motor of upper limbs after stroke. Methods 60 patients with stroke were divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups accepted routine medicine and motor relearning program, and the observation group accepted CST before training. They were assessed with Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF), modified Barthel index (MBI), and the Trunk Control Test (TCT) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of STEF,MBI, and TCT improved after treatment in both groups (P<0.01), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion CST may facilitate the motor recovery of upper limbs after stroke.
