Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effect of track body weight support walking training on lower limb motor function in stroke patients using International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for Stroke. Methods From April to October, 2021, 15 stroke patients from Wudang Mountain Hospital received track body weight support walking training everyday for 30 minutes, five times a week for four weeks. Before and after treatment, they were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 6-minute Walking Test (6MWT), ICF Core Set for Stroke (gait), and three-dimensional gait analysis. Results After treatment, the ICF gait function qualifier, FMA-LE score, BBS score, the distance of 6MWT, gait speed, gait symmetry and and the maximum motion angle of hip and knee increased (|t| > 4.141, P < 0.01). Conclusion Track body weight support walking training could improve the lower limb motor function and gait of stroke patients.
