The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an exercise program for lumbar stabilization on static and dynamic balancing and gait of stroke patients. The subjects were 27 stroke patients, who were divided into an experimental group(n=14) and a control group(n=13). The exercise was conducted for 30 minutes a day, four times a week, and for six weeks. The variables included static and dynamic standing balance and gait, which were verified before and after the lumbar stabilization exercise. Using the IBM SPSS(19.0 version), data were analyzed with t-test and two-way ANOVA to validate the differences before and after the experiment and between the groups. The significance level was set at α = .05 and the results of this study are as follows. First, statistically significant differences were found in the static standing balance after the exercise (P< .05). Second, there were statistically significant differences in the dynamic standing balance after the exercise (P< .05). Third, statistically significant differences were found in the gait of the patients after the exercise (P< .05). In addition, the interactions between the two groups showed significant differences. These results suggest that stroke patients need a variety of lumbar exercises and that the lumbar stabilization exercise can improve physical treatment and health of the patients, having positive effects on their quality of life. Further studies are necessary to explore the applications of various lumber exercises.
