Abstract

Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed as a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. The experimental group applied only 70% of its weight using partial weight support equipment. The experimental group underwent the 30 m ground track for 12 minutes, rested for 3 minutes, and then repeated twice in the same way to apply a total of 30 minutes of partial weight-supported ground walking training. In order to measure the temporal and spatial parameters of gait for walking training in stroke patients, a pre-and post-test was performed using GAIT RITE. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare gait variables. Results. There was a significant improvement in walking speed in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference between cadence and cycle time (P < 0.05). Step length, stride length, and swing rate were significantly improved in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Partial weight support walking training positively affects gait in chronic stroke patients. Thus, it is thought that partial weight support gait training can be used as an effective intervention method to improve gait in

部分重量支持与地面步行训练对慢性脑卒中患者时空步态的影响

背景已有许多关于部分重量支撑步行训练的研究。然而，大多数研究都是在跑步机环境中进行的，而不是在实际的步行环境中。目标。本研究旨在探讨部分重量支撑地面步行训练对慢性脑卒中患者步态时空参数的影响。方法。本研究设计为单盲随机对照试验。实验组使用部分重量支撑设备仅施加其重量的70%。实验组在30米地面上行走12分钟，休息3分钟，然后以同样的方式重复两次，进行总计30分钟的部分重量支撑地面步行训练。为了测量中风患者步行训练步态的时间和空间参数，使用gait RITE进行了前后测试。协方差分析（ANCOVA）用于比较步态变量。后果与对照组相比，实验组的行走速度有显著提高。实验组的步幅、步幅、摆动率与对照组相比均有显著提高（P<0.05）。部分重量支持步行训练对慢性脑卒中患者步态有积极影响。因此，部分重量支持步态训练可以作为改善步态的有效干预方法

期刊介绍： The editorial policy of The Annals of Applied Sport Science (Ann. Appl. Sport Sci.) follows the multi-disciplinary purposes of the sports science to promote the highest standards of scientific study referring to the following fields: • Sport Physiology and its related branches, • Sport Management and its related branches, • Kinesiology and Sport medicine and its related branches, • Sport Psychology and its related branches, • Motor Control and its related branches, • Sport Biomechanics and its related branches, • Sociology of Sport and its related branches, • History of Sport and its related branches, • Exercise, Training, Physical Activity and Health, • Physical Education and Learning. The emphasis of the journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined, and applied to sport and exercise that is defined inclusively to refer to all forms of human movement that aim to maintain or improve physical and mental well-being, create or improve social relationships, or obtain results in competition at all levels. The animal projects also can be evaluated with the decision of Editorial Boards.
