ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Numerous studies have investigated factors for trunk, balance stability and gait parameters of post-stroke patients. Evidence-based recommendations are required for the treatment of ankle proprioceptive exercise with thermal stimulation in post-stroke patients.OBJECTIVE:
We investigated the effects of ankle proprioceptive exercise with thermal stimulation on the trunk stability, balance, and gait ability of post-stroke patients.METHODS:
A total of 30 patients were randomly divided into the ankle proprioceptive training and thermal stimulation group (APT) and control group. The APT group performed ankle proprioceptive exercises with thermal stimulation for 60 min five times a week for eight weeks. The control group followed conservative treatment for 60 min five times a week for eight weeks. Trunk stability was measured with the trunk impairment scale (TIS) and balance tests were performed with the center of pressure (COP), limits of stability (LOS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and functional reach test (FRT) and gait ability was performed by OptoGait and 10 m WT.RESULTS:
There was a significant difference (p< 0.05) between before and after training in both groups. The APT group showed significant improvement in both groups.CONCLUSION:
This study can be used as intervention data for recovering trunk, balance stability and gait parameters in post-stroke patients.Palavras-chave
