简要总结
A total of 39 patients with chronic stroke participated in this study and were randomly assigned to the integrated gaze stabilization and balance training group, the gaze stabilization exercise group, or the balance training group, with 13 participants in each group. The results showed that the integrated intervention group demonstrated greater improvements in static balance, dynamic balance, and gait ability than the single-intervention groups. In static balance, center of pressure area and center of pressure mean velocity decreased after the intervention. In dynamic balance, Berg Balance Scale scores increased and Timed Up and Go test times decreased. In gait ability, the integrated intervention group showed increased gait velocity and step length and decreased step time. However, step time asymmetry did not show significant changes over time or significant between-group differences. For falls-related psychological variables, after adjusting for baseline values, the integrated intervention group showed reduced concern about falling and improved balance confidence. Improvements in major balance and gait variables were also observed at the two-week follow-up. These findings suggest that integrated gaze stabilization and balance training may be an effective rehabilitation intervention for improving postural stability, functional balance, and gait performance in patients with chronic stroke.
