Abstract

Background: The aim of this randomized controlled pilot study was to determine the effect of trunk training in wheelchair on fall efficacy, fall risk and activities of daily living in acute stroke patients. Design: Randomized controlled pilot trial. Methods: The study included 18 patients with acute stroke who were randomly allocated to an experimental group (EG) (n=9) and a control group (CG) (n=9). Patients in the EG group received general rehabilitation therapy combined with trunk training in wheelchair for 20min, whereas CG group received general rehabilitation therapy combined with bicycle training for 20min. Both groups performed the exercise 5 times a week for 3 weeks. Outcomes were assessed using Korean-Fall Efficacy Scale (K-FES), Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale (FAB) and Korean-Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI). Results: After 3 weeks of training, both groups showed significantly improved K-FES, FAB and K-MBI (p<.05 in both groups). However, the K-FES, FAB and K-MBI in the experimental group was significantly improving than in the control group (p<.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that trunk training in wheelchair may be effective at decreasing fall risk and improving activities of daily living in acute stroke patients. Therefore, trunk training in wheelchair may be recommended as an intervention in reducing the incidence of fall risk in acute stroke patient.
