| Objective: To observe the effect of sling series exercise combined with postural control training on motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Method: One hundred eligible patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=50) and control group (n=50). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, including muscle strength exercise, neurodevelopment treatment, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, balance training, 40 min every day for 6 weeks. Additionally, the observation group was given sling series exercise and postural control training for 20 min every day, for 6 weeks. Functional ambulation category (FAC), modified Barthel index (MBI), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and Berg balance scale (BBS) and Sheikh rating scale for trunk control were applied for assessment before and after treatment. Result: After 6 weeks of treatment, the scores of FAC, MBI, FMA, BBS and Sheikh in both groups were significantly improved after treatment (P<0.05), and those in observation group were significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The sling series exercise- and postural control training-based control of core muscle training can promote the motor function of patients with subacute stroke with hemiplegia. |
