Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis on the motor function of patients with stroke.MethodsFifty-six patients with stroke were randomly divided into the therapy group and control group with 28 cases in each group. The patients of two groups were treated with regular rehabilitation training, forty-five minutes at a time, twice one day; at the same time the patients of the therapy group were administrated with the control ability training in the trunk and pelvis, twenty minutes at a time, twice one day. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale (FMA), the Barthel Index (BI) and functionality ambulation category (FAC) were used to assess the motor function of the patients, before and after the treatment.ResultsTwo months after treatment, there was a significant increasing in the FMA, BI, FAC and hemiplegia gait analysis assessment in the both groups ( P<0.05～0.01), but the walking ability of the therapy group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionCombined the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis with routine rehabilitation training is obvious effect on the motor function of the patients with stroke.

Key words: stroke, control training of the trunk and pelvis, motor function
