| Objective:To investigate the effects of balance training equipment on lower limbs motor function of hemiplegia stroke patients.Methods:Sixty-one cerebral infarction patients were randomly assigned into observation group (31 cases) and control group (30 cases).Both two groups received normal rehabilitation therapy.The patients in observation group received Biodex balance equipment training additionally.Clinical assessments were performed before and after treatment,including Functional Ambulation Category (FAC)、Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale(FMA),Barthel Index(BI),Berg Balance scale (BBS).Results：After treatment for 5 weeks,FMA,BI,BBS and FAC scores in both groups were increased than pretreatment (P<0.01,0.05),and those in observation group were obviously higher than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion：Balance training equipment combined with normal rehabilitation therapy was more effective than normal rehabilitation therapy in improving lower limbs motor function of hemiplegia stroke patients. |
