简要总结
One of the leading causes of disability among the elderly is stroke. After a stroke, it is highly usual for lower extremity function, balance and trunk control to be compromised. After a stroke, trunk control is a crucial early predictor of functional recovery. Following a stroke, proximal trunk control is necessary for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional capacity.
详细描述
Forty-five chronic stroke patients, ages 45 to 55, were divided into three equal groups for this randomized controlled study: GA consisted of 15 patients, GB of 15 patients, and GC of 15 patients each. Group A (the study group) received dual motor task training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, Group B (the study group) received task-oriented training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, and Group C only received the selected physiotherapy program for 12 weeks. All groups received treatment three times a week for twelve weeks, with each session lasting sixty minutes. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Biodex Balance System (BBS), and Fugl Meyer Lower Extremity (FM-LE) were used to evaluate each of the three groups pre and post treatments.

入选标准
- •45 chronic stroke patients between the ages of 45 and 55 who were of both sexes, had been ill with stroke for more than six months to a year, had received at least nine years of education, had a score on the Berg balance scale between 41 and less than 45, and had cognitive functions greater than 26 on the MOCA scale were included in this study
排除标准
