Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the effects of treadmill training on balance of convalescent stroke patients.Methods61 patients were divided into 2 groups :observed group(31 cases) and control group(30 cases).The patients of control group were trained with routine rehabilitation training program, the patients of observed group were trained with treadmill training in addition. They were evaluated with Berg balance scale before and 8 weeks after treatment. ResultsAfter training, either observed group or control group showed significant improvement at equilibrium function, but the equilibrium function improved more in observed group (P<0.05). ConclusionTreadmill training plays a positive role on balance recovery in convalescent stroke patients.
