Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of plastic ankle foot orthosis on adult post-stroke hemiplegic patients walking ability and balance. Method : The searched for the case controlled clinical trials about the effects of plastic ankle foot orthosis(pAFO) for walking ability and balance using quantitative gait analysis in adult post-stroke patients. Ten trials were selected from Riss4U databases published until June 2016 in Korea. The selected trials contained a control group with pre-test and post-test design, measured walking ability and balance as a dependent variable. Result : The selected ten trials involved a total of 180 patients. The walking speed, cadence, the portion of double limb supporting, stride length on affected side were improved by plastic ankle foot orthosis. Conclusion : The plastic ankle foot orthosis has some evidence to improve the walking ability and balance in post-stroke hemiplegic patients.

편마비 환자의 보행운동 개선을 위한 보조기구로 족부보장구(Ankle Foot Orthosis, A.F.O.)가 활용되고 있다 족부보장구는 Fig. 1에 제시한 바와 같이 보행특성상 무수히 반복되는 충격과 굽힘하중을 받는다. 따라서 족부보장구용 재료는 피로특성이 우수한 탄소섬유 강화재(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, 이하 CFRP)를 주로 사용한다. 그러나 CFRP의 상용재인 프리프레그(prepreg)는 강한 이방성의 단방향 섬유이므로 섬유방향과 하중작용방향의 관계에 매우 민감하다.(중략)

본 연구는 관절가동범위 및 근력강화운동, 반복적인 과제-지향적 활동으로 구성된 복합운동프로그램을 뇌졸중 환자에게 2년 4개월 동안 적용하여 상지 기능 및 균형 능력에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 뇌졸중으로 인한 좌측 편마비 증상을 보이는 68세 여성으로 매 회기 1시간씩, 주 3회, 2년 4개월 동안 복합운동프로그램을 수행하였다. 대상자의 상지 기능은 브론스트롬의 손 회복 단계와 상지 회복단계, Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Function, 뇌졸중 상지기능검사로, 균형 능력은 Tinetti Gait & Balance Scale로 평가하였다. 연구 결과 대상자의 상지 기능과 균형 능력이 유지 및 향상 되었다. 이를 통하여 만성 뇌졸중 환자에서 상지 및 균형 능력의 유지 및 증진을 위한 지속적인 복합 운동프로그램 수행의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

Rising from a supine position to erect stance is an important milestone in treatment of patients with neurologic dysfunction. The purposes of this study wed to describe the movement patterns that hemiplegic patients use when rising to a standing. position and to investigate whether movement patterns that an proposed to treat of functional activity, Seventeen patients were videotaped performing three trials of rising. Movement patterns were described with three body components : upper extremities, head-trunk, lower extremities. Subjects rose most commonly using a push and reach pattern of the upper extremities-symmetrical interrupted by rotation pattern in the head-trunk-an asymmetrical squat pattern in the lower extremities and a push and reach pattern of the upper extremities-symmetrical interrupted by rotation pattern in the head-trunk-an symmetrical squat with balance step pattern in the lower extremities.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics oi gait patterns and to find the effects of the gait function on the P.N.F. pelvic pattern. The subjects of this study were 40 hemiplegic patients who either hospitalized in or out patients at department physical therapy, Tae-Bong hospital and Masan college health education center. The study on these patient were done from July 20.1999 through May 10,2000. Method of gait pattern assessment used ink foot print record. The results were as follows: 1. There were significiant difference in cadence and stride length(p<0.05). 2. There were significiant difference in gait velocity (p<0.05).

The purpose of this study was to compare a pelvic tilt angle between sound side and affected side in hemiplegic patients and the changing affected pelvic posterior tilt angle was measured at intervals of 3, 6, 9 weeks after Bobath approach. The subject for the study were 10 hemiplegic patients(mean age of 54.1 years)without orthopedic disability on pelvic bone. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows. There was a significant difference in the pelvic tilt angle between sound side and affected side in hemiplegic patients. There was a significant difference in affected pelvic posterior tilt angle between pre-treatment and post-treatment(9 weeks).

In this study, we proposed an algorithm which can detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient using three axis acceleration signal. Twenty hemiplegic patients were participated in an experiment on a level corridor. To evaluate the accuracy, we compared the time difference between the detected event and signal from FSR-Sensor. Consequently, the mean difference of 46.1ms was obtained and it suggests that the proposed method is effective to detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient. In future, these results could be used to evaluate the walking ability in hemiplegic patient in clinical practice.

Asymmetrical posture during static stance has been identified as a common problem in persons with hemiplegia. This study examined the effect of a purposeful exercise training program on symmetrical weight bearing in three adult persons with hemiplegia. Multiple baseline design was used. The intervention program, including ball throwing and catching, rolling ball catching and throwing, and Swiss ball pulling and stopping was introduced for 15 minutes each day during each intervention phase. Quantitative measurement of the weight distribution was taken with the Limloader. Visual inspection and mean of data revealed a significant improvement in symmetrical weight distribution. This result suggests that a purposeful exercise training program can be effective in helping persons with hemiplegia achieve symmetric stances.
