Effects of Early Treadmill Training on Ambulatory Ability in Stroke Patients: Electromyographic and Kinematic Analyses
October 5, 2009 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital
The purpose of this study is to explore an alternative approach that emphasizes task specificity and treadmill training for ambulation training of these patients.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Restoration of independent ambulatory ability is one of the most common functional goals of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
Ambulation training, therefore, is an important part of physical therapy intervention for these patients.
Conventional neurologic physical therapy for ambulation training, based sorely on neurophysiology, prohibits early ambulation experience after stroke in attempt to avoid the development of abnormal gait patterns.
Such an approach has been shown to be limited in helping these patients regain independent ambulatory ability.
