Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the weight-bearing of affected side and the functional mobility in stroke patients.Methods36 hemiparetic stroke patients participated in this study. They were asked to measure the ration of the weight-bearing of affected side on the undisturbed and maximum situations, as well as the time for Timed "Up and Go" Test (TUGT) and Sit-to-Stand Test. The correlation between the ration of the weight-bearing of affected side on maximum situations and the time for the TUGT and Sit-to-Stand Test were analysed statistically with Spearman's correlation in those stroke patients whose ration of the weight-bearing of affected side on undisturbed situations was less than 50%.ResultsThere were correlation between the ration of the weight-baring of affected side on maximum situations and the time for the TUGT (r=-0.605, P<0.01) and the time for the Sit-to-Stand Test (r=-0.456, P<0.05).ConclusionA good relationship exists between the weight-bearing of affected side and the functional mobility in stroke patients.
