Abstract
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bobath treatment on the balance and gait in adult hemiplegia. Methods : The study was performed with patients of hemiparesis caused by cerebral stroke. The participants were based on random sampling method. The hemiplegia patient received Bobath therapy. Each rehabilitation program lasted 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. Pertinent indicators Berg's balance scale (BBS), gait velocity, and static balance analysis were recorded before and after the programs, as well as every 2 weeks during the rehabilitation programs. Results : There was showed a significantly increase of BBS score. Static open and close showed statistically significant in interaction by time and groups. There was significant difference of gait velocity. Conclusion : These findings in this study that the Bobath therapy was effective therapy in improving dynamic balance and gait velocity.
