Effect of Pelvic Intensive Training on Gait of Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia

Objective To investigate the effect of pelvic intensive training on gait of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods 60 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into control group(n=30) and observation group(n=30).Both groups received routine rehabilitation training.The observation group received pelvic intensive training,twice a day,additionally.The average step length,the time of each foot and the 3-minute walking distance were tested before and 8 weeks after treatment with Biodex Gait Trainer 2.Results The average step length and the time of each foot of both sides and the 3 minutes walking distance were significantly better after treatment(P0.001).And the indexes were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group(P0.001).Conclusion Pelvic intensive training can improve the gait of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
