Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of low-speed treadmill training on function of lower limbs in hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods 26 hemiplegic patients after stroke were divided into the treatment group(n=14) and control group(n=12).Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation,and the treatment group accepted low-speed treadmill training in addition.They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA),Berg Balance Scale(BBS),6-min walk distance,10-m walking speed before and after treatment.Results The scores of FMA and BBS,and the distance of 6-min walk,speed of 10-m walking improved in both groups(P0.05),and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group(P0.05) after 3-mouth treatment.Conclusion Low-speed treadmill training can significantly improve walk ability and balance function of the hemiplegic patients after stroke.
