Summary

The trunk movement awareness and education of individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis is not emphasized adequately in clinical practice. Therefore, this current study was made to hypothesize whether a patient education program about dynamic trunk control exercises during stroke rehabilitation may influence trunk control. 40 individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis were recruited and randomly allocated to the experimental and control group. Both the groups received 1 hour of exercises focusing more on dynamic trunk control exercises with patient education chart (experimental group) and without the patient education chart (control group) for 4 weeks.

Conditions

  • Strokes Thrombotic

Interventions

DEVICE

Trunk control exercises combined with patient education program

Patients in this group received about 45-60 minutes of trunk control exercises in lying and sitting, 5 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Each exercise was performed with 10-20 repetitions per session depending on the patient's ability. Trunk exercises or other activities targeting the trunk while sitting and lying, to minimize the influence of lower extremity function performed either on a stable or unstable surfaces. In addition, the experimental group provided a patient education program which focuses on the importance of trunk control and benefits of trunk control exercises during the rehabilitation process. Further, caregivers and family members were also explained about the patient education program and adherence with treatment protocol during and after the interventions.
