Summary

The sit-to-stand and dynamic weight-shifting ability of stroke patients is highly associated with walking performance. Therefore, in order to improve the dynamic weight-shifting ability in sit-to-stand and parallel or tandem standing, a real-time visual or auditory feedback is used in our design to allow patients to realize the weight-bearing condition (by using load cells) in both sound and affected legs immediately. It can help patients to learn to control muscle to shift weight effectively which will improve patients' walking performance. By integrating physical therapy planning with electro-mechanical technology, the goal of this study is to develop a standing balance training system by requiring patients to control their center of pressure (COP) in performing sit-to-stand and maintain a standing posture via the use of their core and lower extremity musculature.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Balance function, gait ability, weight- distribution and weight-shifting

Healthy adults and stroke patients accepted two measurements within a week. Balance function, gait ability, weight- distribution and weight-shifting during sit-to-stand, quite standing, and weight-shifting toward the forward foot.

BEHAVIORAL

Weight- distribution and weight-shifting training program

The stroke patients received a weight-shifting training program , 30 minutes/time, 2-5 days a week for 2-3 weeks(8 sessions). After training, they accepted a post-test within a week.
