Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of intensified heel anti-gravity posture stability training on the gait of stroke survivors.Methods:Thirty-six hemiplegic stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, each of 18. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment (including limb positioning, limb movement training and conventional walking training), while the experimental group was additionally provided with 30 minutes of intense heel anti-gravity posture stability training 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment, the subjects′ walking speed, stride frequency, step length, peak knee flexion angle and peak hip flexion angle were documented using three-dimensional gait analysis with a movement training system.Results:The average walking speed, stride rate, step length, peak hip flexion and peak knee flexion of both groups had improved significantly after the treatments. But the average walking speed [(0.46±0.06)m/s], step length [(85.05±6.68)cm], peak hip flexion angle [(34.80±2.80)°] and peak knee flexion angle [(40.55±3.58)°] of the treatment group were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusions:Intensified heel anti-gravity posture stability training can significantly improve the walking speed, step length, hip flexion and knee flexion of hemiplegic stroke survivors.
