Summary

This study examined the effects of trunk exercise on unstable surfaces on trunk control and balance for persons in the sub-acute stage of stroke. The hypothesis was that, compared to upper limb exercises in well supported sitting position, this exercise would lead to better trunk control and sitting and standing balance. The results supported the hypothesis.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accident
  • Balance Impairment

Interventions

OTHER

trunk exercise on unstable exercise

Participants would receive exercises on unstable surface. Started from supine position, participants had abdominal drawer-in maneuver with soft foam under the pelvic. Lower trunk rotation, bridging and abdominal muscles isometric contraction exercises were also used in this exercise during supine position, with different unstable surfaces used. Including soft foam under the feet, then progressed to BOSU ball under the feet, then progressed to the a BOSU ball under the feet combined with pelvic on soft foam. During sitting, BOSU ball and Swiss ball were used as unstable surface. Pelvic anterior-posterior tilt, lateral tilting, rotation, lifting, and stepping with arm swing were used in this position.

OTHER

Upper limb range of motion exercise
