@#Objective To compare finger tapping of stroke patients' unaffected hands to the same hands of healthy people. Methods 40 stroke patients with left hemiplegia (25 males and 15 females), including 11 cases of cerebral hemorrhage and 29 cases of cerebral infarction, and other 40 healthy people were tested the finger tapping of right hand. Results The finger tapping was significantly lower in the stroke patients than in the healthy people (P<0.01). There was no difference in finger tapping between patients with cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction (P<0.05). Conclusion Motor function of fingers in unaffected hands is injured in stroke patients.

BACKGROUND:After entering the aging society, improving the balance function to prevent fals and reduce incidence of fractures in the elderly has received widespread attentions in al aspects. OBJECTIVE: To design a training program for the elderly, involving static stretching and strength exercise of lower limb, in order to study the combined effect on the balance function of the elderly. METHODS: Static stretching and strength training of the lower limbs were carried out in 28 elderly persons who met the inclusion criteria for 3 months, three times a week, once for 60 minutes. Before and after exercise training, the static balance ability with foot standing, eyes open and eyes closed was evaluated using the PRO-KIN balance instrument; the dynamic balance ability and lower limb strength were evaluated using treadmil test with eyes closed and chair-stand test. Evaluation results before and after exercise were compared and anayzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the eyes open state, the average X-axis coordinate and exercise-induced elipse area at the center of pressure were significant different before and after exercise (P < 0.01); the mean velocities at the left and right direction were of significant difference before and after exercise (P < 0.05); the results of treadmil test with eyes closed and chair-stand test also presented very significant differences before and after exercise (P < 0.01). Static stretching combined with lower limb strength exercise can effectively improve the balance function and lower limb strength of the elderly, which can be used as an effective exercise way to prevent the fals in the elderly.
