The Application of Sling Exercise Training in People With Chronic Stroke

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this single-blinded, randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of sling exercise training (SET) for core muscle on gait performance in people with chronic stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Background and purpose: Balance and gait performance are often impaired in people post stroke. Evidence showed positive correlations between trunk control and balance and walking ability. Previous studies applying core muscle training reported positive effects on improving trunk control and sitting balance among patients with chronic stroke, but benefits on standing balance and gait performance remain undetermined. Sling exercise training (SET) has been suggested for improving core muscle stability and strength in people with stroke. However, studies about effects of SET on gait performance in stroke populations are limited. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effects of SET for core muscle on gait performance in people with chronic stroke. Methods: Thirty-eight individuals with chronic stroke will be recruited and assigned to one of the two groups by randomization, sling exercise training group and conventional training group. The training is 30 minutes per session, 3 sessions per week for total of 4 weeks. Gait performance is the primary outcome to include gait speed, stride length, single leg support time and temporal and spatial symmetry measured by GAITRite® System. Secondary outcomes include balance, timed up-and-go (TUG) test and trunk performance. All outcomes will be assessed before, after the 4-week training program and at 4-week follow-up. ;
