Abstract

BackgroundStroke patients experienced a decline in balance and gait abilities due to impaired trunk control. Previous studies showed that Reformer exercises were effective in improving trunk control.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of Reformer-based trunk stability exercises on trunk control, balance, and gait abilities in patients with chronic stroke.MethodsThis study utilized a randomized controlled trial design. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (Reformer-based trunk stability exercises, n = 12) or a control group (conventional trunk stability exercises, n = 12). The intervention consisted of 20-min sessions conducted five times a week for four weeks. Trunk control, balance, and gait parameters were evaluated before and after the intervention, and the data were analyzed using a two-way repeated measures ANOVA.ResultsStatistical analysis demonstrated a significant interaction effect between group and time for most variables, with within-group comparisons showing significant differences before and after the intervention for the majority of variables in both groups. Additionally, effect size analysis indicated large effect sizes (Cohen's d > 0.8) for most variables.ConclusionsReformer-based trunk stability exercises showed positive effects on trunk control, balance, and gait parameters in patients with chronic stroke.

基于改良器的躯干稳定性训练对慢性脑卒中患者躯干控制、平衡和步态参数的影响。

背景：由于躯干控制能力受损，中风患者的平衡和步态能力下降。先前的研究表明，改革者练习对改善躯干控制是有效的。目的探讨基于改良器的躯干稳定性训练对慢性脑卒中患者躯干控制、平衡和步态能力的影响。方法采用随机对照试验设计。参与者被随机分配到实验组（基于改革者的躯干稳定性练习，n = 12）或对照组（传统躯干稳定性练习，n = 12）。干预包括每周五次，每次20分钟，持续四周。在干预前后评估躯干控制、平衡和步态参数，并使用双向重复测量方差分析对数据进行分析。结果统计分析显示，大多数变量在组与时间之间存在显著的交互作用，组内比较显示，两组大多数变量在干预前后存在显著差异。此外，效应量分析表明，大多数变量的效应量较大（Cohen's d > 0.8）。结论基于改良器的躯干稳定性训练对慢性脑卒中患者的躯干控制、平衡和步态参数有积极的影响。

期刊介绍： NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
