Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of integrating an 8-figure shoulder brace (8-FSB) into rehabilitation exercises on trunk control, balance, and gait parameters in patients with chronic stroke.

Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (rehabilitation exercise with 8-FSB, n = 11) or a control group (rehabilitation exercise only, n = 11). Both groups participated in 30-minute sessions, five times per week for four weeks. Outcome measures included trunk impairment scale, total center of pressure distance, timed up and go test, gait speed, and step length. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention. Independent t-tests were used for between-group comparisons, and paired t-tests for within-group comparisons.

Results: After four weeks, the experimental group showed significant improvements in trunk control, balance, gait speed, and step length on the unaffected side (p < 0.05). No significant change was observed in step length on the affected side in either group (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: Integrating the 8-FSB into rehabilitation exercises may enhance trunk control, balance, and gait ability in patients with chronic stroke, thereby contributing to their functional recovery.

将8位肩托纳入康复训练对慢性脑卒中患者躯干控制、平衡和步态参数的影响：一项随机对照试验

目的：本研究旨在探讨将8位肩托（8-FSB）整合到康复训练中对慢性脑卒中患者躯干控制、平衡和步态参数的影响。方法：将参与者随机分为实验组（8-FSB康复训练，n = 11）和对照组（仅康复训练，n = 11）。两组人都参加了30分钟的训练，每周5次，持续4周。结果测量包括躯干损伤量表、总压力中心距离、计时起跑测试、步态速度和步长。在干预前后分别进行了评估。组间比较采用独立t检验，组内比较采用配对t检验。结果：4周后，实验组在躯干控制、平衡、步态速度、未患侧步长等方面均有显著改善（p p > 0.05）。结论：将8-FSB纳入康复训练可增强慢性脑卒中患者的躯干控制、平衡和步态能力，从而有助于其功能恢复。
