A comparative study of the effects of trunk exercise program in aquatic and land-based therapy on gait in hemiplegic stroke patients

Abstract: [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aquatic and land-based trunk exercise program on gait in stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 28 hemiplegic stroke patients (20 males, 8 females). The subjects performed a trunk exercise program for a total of four weeks. [Results] Walking speed and cycle, stance phase and stride length of the affected side, and the symmetry index of the stance phase significantly improved after the aquatic and land-based trunk exercise prog… Show more

“…Aquatic therapy can potentially facilitate independence by providing buoyancy-assisted movements and movement in a supportive environment. The use of the aquatic environment for therapy can improve a patient's ability to effectively perform ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) and IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) by augmenting strength, endurance, difficult kinematic patterns and overall physical condition (Park et al, 2016).…”
