Effects of Trunk Stabilization Training Device on Balance Ability for Stroke Patients

May 29, 2024 updated by: Yong-il Shin, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital

Effectiveness Evaluation of Trunk Stabilization Training Using Balance Pro(SBT-330) for Stroke Patients With Reduced Balance Ability

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Balance pro(SBT-330:trunk stabilization training device) for stroke patients reduced balance ability

Study Overview

Detailed Description

after being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a 1-week screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. Subjects who pass the screening test will randomize in a 1:1 ratio to experimental group(conventional rehabilitation + trunk stabilization training device, 30min each, 20days) or control group(conventional rehabilitation + conventional rehabilitation, 30min each, 20days). And then, They receive a registration number within 7 days and proceed with the pre-intervention test.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: Change from baseline Berg Balance Scale at week 4
The Berg Balance Scale(BBS) is the quantified cutoff values for the four basic gait-related activities of stroke patients. It consists of a total of 14 items, and each item is divided into 5 levels, ranging from 0 to 4 points, with a total score of 56 points. Interpretation of exercise state according to score is 0-20: Wheelchair bound. 21-40: Walking with assistance. 41-56: independent.
Change from baseline Berg Balance Scale at week 4

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Timed Up and Go test
Time Frame: baseline and week 4
The Timed Up and Go test(TUG) starts with sitting in a chair and measures the time it takes to get up and walk 3 meters back to sitting on the chair.
baseline and week 4
Functional Ambulation Category
Time Frame: baseline and week 4
The Functional Ambulation Category(FAC) is a 7-point scale to evaluate the gait and mobility of patients with nervous and musculoskeletal injury. A higher score is interpreted as having higher independence of walking, and a score of 3 or less is considered difficult to move independently. It is a tool to evaluate not only balance ability but also actual mobility ability.
baseline and week 4
Korean version of Modified Barthel Index
Time Frame: baseline and week 4
The Korean version of Modified Barthel Index(K-MBI) is a tool to evaluate the patient's level of independence in daily living activities, including basic daily living activities and instrumental daily living activities. It consists of 5 to 15 points depending on the item, and the perfect score is 100 points. The higher the score, the higher the patient's level of independence from daily activities is considered.
baseline and week 4
Fugl-Meyer Assessment(L/E)
Time Frame: baseline and week 4
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)(L/E) is an exercise ability scale to evaluate the motor function of stroke patients, and it is a tool to evaluate motor function of the healthy and injured upper and lower limbs. Each exercise item is evaluated on a 2-point scale and 3-point scale, with a perfect score of 100. In this study, lower limb evaluation items are implemented.
baseline and week 4
Trunk Impairment Scale
Time Frame: baseline and week 4

The Trunk Impairment Scale(TIS) is for the motor impairment of the trunk of a stroke patient.

As an optimal test method, it measures static and dynamic balance and coordination between the body in a sitting position. There are a total of 17 items with 3 items for static balance ability in a sitting position, 10 items for dynamic balance ability, and 4 items for trunk coordination, and minimum 0 to maximum 23 points.
