This book was released on 2019 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Hemiparetic gait and impaired balance are common motor deficits following stroke. Backward walking has become an alternative mode of locomotive training and has shown positive outcomes. Limited studies investigated the effects of backward walking in people post-stroke. This study aimed to compare the immediate effects of backward versus forward walking on gait and balance in individuals post-stroke. METHODS: A total of 5 people post-stroke (aged 60.00±3.44) completed this study protocol. Participants performed a 15-minute treadmill walk either forward or backward on two separate visits at a comfortable speed. Spatiotemporal and kinematic gait variables including walking speed, cadence, stride length, and stride time were collected using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Three balance tests, including Limit of Stability (LOS), Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance, and Sit to Stand, were conducted using a computerized dynamic post urography system. Both gait and balance assessments took place immediately before and after the treadmill walking protocol. RESULTS: People post-stroke did not show significant differences in all spatiotemporal and kinematic gait variables after both FW and BW. People post-stroke, however, showed significant changes in two balance variables after BW: the MXE scores of the LOS test improved by 29% in the posterior direction (from 33.20±9.73 to 42.80±4.92, p

Effectiveness of rehabilitation programs with patientu2019s after stroke has been proved by research, but which methods works most effectively and should be widely applied, are still in discussion. Purpose: Investigate the effect of different treadmill walking training on gait and balance in stroke patients. Materials and methods: A total of 36 stroke subjects who underwent rehabilitation at Vilnius University Hospital Santaros klinikos, Rehabilitation, Physical and Sports Medicine Centre were recruited in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. All subjects received a routine individual physiotherapy two times per day for 30 u2013 45 minutes, 5 days per week. The subjects in the 1st group additional received 10-20 minutes gait training of walking forward on treadmill. The subjects in the 2nd group also received additional 10-20 minutes gait training of walking backward on treadmill. Balance parameters were assessed using Berg Balance Test, gait parameters were evaluated using 10 Meter Walk Test and measuring step length and width. Results: The results of balance and gait parametres have increased significantly in both groups during the research (p0,05). However, there was no significantly difference between the groups (p0,05) comparing the results of balance. Analysis of results of gait parametres tests revealed that in group which received backward training on treadmill significantly more improved gait speed and decreased the asymmetry of step length and width than in the group which received forward walking training on treadmill (p

Download or read book Effects of Treadmill Walking with Visual Feedback on Gait Outcomes in People Post Stroke written by Ileana Hurtado and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compromised gait is prevalent in people post stroke. Gait training is one of the major components in stroke rehabilitation. Treadmill walking is often used for gait training in people post stroke. Limited studies have examined the effects of a visual feedback system in combination with treadmill-based gait training. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill walking with realtime visual feedback on gait outcomes in people post stroke. Methods: 6 participants (age 59.3+/-12.34 years old) participated in this case study. They were assigned to either visual feedback gait training group or control based on initial walking speed. Both groups performed 30 minutes of treadmill walking, three times a week, for eight weeks. The control group performed the training with no visual feedback (NVF). The experimental treatment group received real-time visual feedback (VF) on a LCD screen which displayed foot placement and prompts. Data collection was performed before and after the eight weeks, as well as four weeks after the completion of intervention. The kinematic and spatiotemporal variables were recorded and analyzed by using a 3D motion analysis system. (VICON Bonita System). Data process and analysis was performed using VICON Polygon software. x Results: Group averages demonstrated an increase in walking speed and cadence in the VF group. The VF group demonstrated an increase of 11.7% in cadence of the AF and NAF limb. Walking speed of the VF group increased by 21.7% from .95m/s to 1.16m/s. NVF group revealed no notable change in spatiotemporal, or kinematic variables. Neither VF nor NVF group demonstrated notable changes in the kinematic values or gait symmetry. Conclusion: The findings indicate that gait training with visual feedback can be more effective in improving gait spatiotemporal values than conventional treadmill walking.

Download or read book Locomotor Training written by Susan J. Harkema and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical rehabilitation for walking recovery after spinal cord injury is undergoing a paradigm shift. Therapy historically has focused on compensation for sensorimotor deficits after SCI using wheelchairs and bracing to achieve mobility. With locomotor training, the aim is to promote recovery via activation of the neuromuscular system below the level of the lesion. What basic scientists have shown us as the potential of the nervous system for plasticity, to learn, even after injury is being translated into a rehabilitation strategy by taking advantage of the intrinsic biology of the central nervous system. While spinal cord injury from basic and clinical perspectives was the gateway for developing locomotor training, its application has been extended to other populations with neurologic dysfunction resulting in loss of walking or walking disability.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if walking speed, walking endurance, and balance can improve in a patient who is 19 years post cerebellar stroke in response to treadmill training. BACKGROUND: There is an increased incidence in stroke in the United States. While the incidence of stroke has increased, the mortality rate has decreased leaving more people in the community living with chronic effects of stroke. Treadmill training has been used as a successful intervention for recovery of walking in people with stroke. SUBJECT: The subject was a 64 year old male who sustained a cerebellar stroke 19 years ago. METHODS: A single subject participated in treadmill gait training two times a week for eight weeks. The Tinetti PUMA, Six-Minute Walk Test, and the 10 Meter Walk Test were used to evaluate walking and balance prior to, immediately following, and one month following the training period. ANALYSIS: Descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS: Change scores were compared to Smallest Real Difference (SRD) values reported in the literature and did not reveal a level of clinical significance. Small improvements from pre-training to post-training sessions occurred that were not sustained one month post-training. Our subject did show an upward trend in total walking time, duration of longest walking period per training session, and systolic blood pressure. CONCLUSION: Improvements in total walking time, longest duration of walking per treatment session, and systolic blood pressure may be suggestive of a training effect. The small improvements from pre-training to post-training sessions that were not sustained one month post-training may suggest treadmill training as a useful intervention for people with chronic effects of stroke.

Download or read book Locomotion and Posture in Older Adults written by Fabio Augusto Barbieri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to advance the discussion and improve our understanding about the effects of aging and movement disorders on motor control during walking and postural tasks. Despite these activities are performed daily, there is a high requirement of motor and neural systems in order to perform both tasks efficiently. Both walking and posture require a complex interaction of musculoskeletal and neural systems. However, the mechanisms used to control these tasks, as well as how they are planned and coordinated, are still a question of discussion among health professionals and researchers. In addition, this discussion is more interesting when the effects of aging are included in the context of locomotion and the postural control. The number of older individuals is 841 million in 2015, which is four times higher than the 202 million that lived in 1950. Aging causes many motor, sensorial and neural deficits, which impair locomotion and postural control in the elderly. The severity of this framework is worsened when the aging goes along with a movement disorder, such as Parkinson disease, Chorea, Dystonia, Huntington disease, etc. Therefore, the aim of this book is to highlight the influence of different aspects on planning, controlling and performing locomotion and posture tasks. In attempting to improve current knowledge in this field, invited authors present and discuss how environmental, sensorial, motor, cognitive and individual aspects influence the planning and performance of locomotor and postural activities. The major thrust of the book is to address the mechanisms involved in controlling and planning motor action in neurological healthy individuals, as well as in those who suffer from movement disorders or face the effects of aging, indicating the aspects that impair locomotion and postural control. In addition, new technologies, tools and interventions designed to manage the effects of aging and movement disorders are presented in the book.
