Summary

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of trunk stabilization exercises on coordinated movement of the affected upper limb in patients after stroke, using the Armoe®Spring device and the "wall" and "abacus" functional tests. The study group had physiotherapy based on the NDT Bobath concept and the control group used classic exercises.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

NDT Bobath therapy

Their physiotherapy was based on exercises that heavily employed the core muscles to equalize tension and strength, according to the NDT Bobath concept. The duration of the treatment session for each patient in both groups was 120 minutes.

OTHER

The classic exercises.

They underwent classical neurological rehabilitation. such as passive exercises, but also an approximation. In addition, the patients performed self-assisted exercises on a manual rotor, and in order to relieve the directly affected limb, the patients exercised in a suspension system. As the physiotherapy progressed, the patients performed active exercises, and then active exercises with resistance, e.g. using the Thera Band. Patients also exercised their balance with the use of large gymnastic balls or sensor pads. A large part of the physiotherapy was locomotion training and gait re-education. The duration of the treatment session for each patient in both groups was 120 minutes.
