Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the lower extremities patterns in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to the gait and stair up of the hemiplegic stroke patient. the patient was taken lower extremities patterns in porprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with 5 times per week for 8 weeks. The results were as followings ; 1. The walking times was decreased from 78 seconds to 39 seconds at 20m, 2. The stride length was increased from 48.3cm to 93.3cm. 3. The step length was increassed from 25.2cm to 47.2cm. 4. The stair up was increased from 3.2cm to 15.5cm.
