Analysis of the Center of Pressure in a Single Elbow Support Position and the Relationship with Sitting Up Time in Patients with Hemiparesis after Stroke

Abstract: ABSTRACT:We hypothesized that the stability and a larger stability area of the center of gravity in a single elbow support position are the factors that determine the ability of sitting up by way of a single elbow support position in patients with hemiparesis. The purpose of this study was to confirm this hypothesis. The locus of the center of pressure (COP) in a single elbow support position under the two conditions and sitting up time were measured in 17 patients with hemiparesis after stroke, and relations … Show more

“…RBT is also thought to b e c o r r e l a t e d w i t h s p a c e p e r c e p t i o n a n d somatosensory deficits after stroke 20) . Moreover, there is evidence for a relationship between instability in the single elbow support position and ability to rise from bed [21][22][23] .These findings suggest that rising from bed might be correlated with various physical abilities, including balance and ADL. We accordingly hypothesized that improvement of function in patients with stroke is predictable from the ability to rise from bed.…”

“…Balance abilities in a single elbow support position were assessed according to the methods outlined by Furuyama et al 13) and Narita et al 14) for the rest task, and as reported by Narita et al 14) and Masuya et al 15) for the dynamic task. Briefly, subjects placed the forearm on the unaffected side in line with the Y line on a force platform after rising to a single elbow support position from a supine position, with shoulder joint abducted 60° (Fig.…”
