| Objective: To study the effects of unstable tablet training on motor function and activity of daily living in hemiplegia stroke patients. Methods: A total of 30 hemiplegia stroke patients were divided into the study group (n=15) and control group (n=15) by the order of admission. The study group was treated with conventional rehabilitation treatments, pharmacotherapy and the unstable tablet training, and the control group was given conventional rehabilitation treatments, pharmacotherapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Tecnobody proprioceptive system assessment, Fugl-meyer lower limb assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to evaluate the proprioceptive ability, lower limb motor function, balancing ability and activities of daily living before and 8 weeks after treatments. Results: After treatments for 8 weeks, the proprioceptive ability, lower limb motor function, balancing ability and activities of daily living were improved significantly (P<0.05) in both groups. The improvement in study group was superior to that in control group (P<0.05) in the proprioceptive ability and the lower limb motor function, but no significant difference was seen in the balancing ability and activities of daily living (P>0.05). Conclusion: The unstable tablet training could better improve the proprioceptive ability and the lower limb motor function of hemiplegia stroke patients than PNF. |
