Abstract

Background: Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) frequently results in problems with balance, which increase the risk of falling. Patients with stroke might improve their balance skills and reduce the occurrence of falls by engaging in sitting balance training exercises.      Objectives: The current study aims to examine the effect of sitting balance exercises on the risk of fall in patients with stroke.     Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was performed on sixty patients with acute stroke by using a purposive sampling method. The recruited patients were divided to experimental and control groups with 30 patients each. Patients in the experimental group were followed to perform sitting balance exercises two sessions per day for 14th days, whereas the patients enrolled in the control group received a routine conventional care.         Results: More than half of patients participating in the experimental group were within the age groups of 60-69 years old and accounted for 53.3%, 56.7% of the experimental group were female while 46.7% of the control group were males. Before applying sitting balance exercises, the experimental group's overall mean score for the level of falling incidences risk level was 1.2±0.40 and 2.1 ±0.86 after implementing the intervention. There is a significant statistical difference in the level of falling risk between the two groups after implementing the interventional protocol at a P<0.001. Conclusion: Performing of sitting balance exercises immediately after diagnosis with stroke was significantly improved stetting balance and decreased the incidence of falling in patients with stroke
静坐平衡练习在减少中风患者跌倒风险中的作用
背景:脑血管意外(中风)经常导致平衡问题,这增加了跌倒的风险。中风患者可以通过静坐平衡训练来提高他们的平衡能力,减少跌倒的发生。目的:本研究旨在探讨静坐平衡运动对卒中患者跌倒风险的影响。方法:采用目的性抽样方法对60例急性脑卒中患者进行准实验设计。招募的患者被分为实验组和对照组,每组30例。实验组患者每天进行两次坐位平衡练习,持续14天,而对照组患者接受常规护理。结果:实验组患者半数以上年龄在60-69岁之间,占53.3%,其中,实验组女性占56.7%,对照组男性占46.7%。在进行坐位平衡运动前,实验组跌倒发生率风险水平总体平均得分为1.2±0.40,干预后为2.1±0.86。两组实施干预方案后的下降风险水平有显著的统计学差异,P<0.001。结论:脑卒中患者诊断后立即进行坐位平衡训练可显著改善患者的行走平衡,降低跌倒发生率
