| Objective:To investigate the effects of balance training on lower limbs motor function of stroke patients with Pusher syndrome.Methods:Sixty-one patients with Pusher syndrome 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 additionally.Clinical assessments were performed before and after treatment,including Functional Ambulation Category (FAC),Fugl-Meyer scale (FAM),Barthel index (BI),and Balance scale (BBS).Results:After treatment for 5 weeks,FAC,FAM,BI,and BBS scores in both groups were increased as compared with those pretreatment (P<0.05),and those in observation group were obviously higher than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusions:Balance training combined with normal rehabilitation therapy was more effective than normal rehabilitation therapy alone in improving lower limbs motor function of stroke patients with Pusher syndrome. |
