Stroke Walking Explained After Trunk Training

NCT02708888 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 39

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of SWEAT² study is to further explore the effects of additional customized trunk exercises on clinical and biomechanical gait performance. Despite of the evidence demonstrating the importance of trunk control after stroke, studies about the effects of trunk rehabilitation on gait performance are inconsistent. The findings of this study might lead to new scientific insights in the importance of the trunk during gait rehabilitation in people suffering from stroke submitted to a rehabilitation hospital.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Trunk training

The experimental group receives 16 hours of additional trunk training (4 days/week, 4 weeks) focusing on trunk muscle strength, coordination and selective movements executed on stable and unstable surfaces.

OTHER

Cognitive exercises

The control group will be receiving the same amount of repetitive cognitive exercises within arm's range to ensure no anticipatory postural adjustments of the trunk.
