“…Numerous studies have reported that the best improvement in regaining motor control, including gait, happens during the first 3 months following a stroke, but it has also been shown that improvement in functionality is possible during the latter period, 6 months after a stroke [7,8]. One of the methods of improving locomotion is treadmill training.…”

BackgroundOne of the most significant challenges for patients who survive a stroke is relearning basic motor tasks such as walking. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether training on a treadmill with visual biofeedback improves gait symmetry, as well as spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters, in stroke patients.Material/MethodsThirty patients in the chronic phase after a stroke were randomly allocated into groups with a rehabilitation program of treadmill training with or without visual biofeedback. The training program lasted 10 days. Spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters were evaluated. For all parameters analyzed, a symmetrical index was calculated. Follow-up studies were performed 6 months after completion of the program.ResultsThe symmetrical index had significantly normalized in terms of the step length (p=0.006), stance phase time, and inter-limb ratio in the intervention group. After 6 months, the improvement in the symmetry of the step length had been maintained. In the control group, no statistically significant change was observed in any of the parameters tested. There was no significant difference between the intervention group and the control group on completion of the program or at 6 months following the completion of the program.ConclusionsTraining on a treadmill has a significant effect on the improvement of spatiotemporal parameters and symmetry of gait in patients with chronic stroke. In the group with the treadmill training using visual biofeedback, no significantly greater improvement was observed.

The aim of the study — the evaluation of the effectiveness for restoring the functional abilities with Neurac method in patients undergoing stroke. Materials and methods. The study included 20 participants, they were divided into 2 groups, the first group — the patients who undergoing the stroke (main group): the main group of patients received a base standard rehabilitation program (kinesiotherapy, mechanotherapy on cyclic apparatгs, massage) and additional trainings in Redcord in Redsord system. The control group — a base standard rehabilitation program. The duration of the rehabilitation course was 14 days. Results and consideration. As a result of the study in both groups (main and control) as compared with the initial findings were better results of Berg Balance Test: 44,4±0,5 in the first group and 43,6±0,8 in the second group vs. 48±0,3 and 45,3±0,5 (р≤0,05). Although in patients of the first group after restoring treatment course with using method of Neurac method it was authentic lesser disturbance of everyday life activity: in estimating Bartel Index 86,9±0,5 vs. 80,1±0,7 (initial) (р≤0,05), what was significantly higher be comparison with control group results. In estimating 10 minutes walking test: 16,82±5,4 in the main group 2020 2 vs. 22,6±3,33 (initial) (р≥0,05), what was although significantly higher in comparison with the second group. By estimating walking on C-mill treadmill the middle speed in first and it second groups was 0,90±0,1 vs. 0,84±0,3 with 0,80±0,2 vs. 0,84±0,3 (ibitial) (р≥0,05). Conclusion: the obtained results point at the effectiveness of using Neurac method in restoring treatment programs for patient undergoing stroke for elevation of the stabilization of trunk, improvement of balance (in static, in functional movements, in walking), independence level in real life terms. An additional point is that this kind training can promote significantly positive influence on the patient’s motivation for actualization of active movement to improvement of the social and domestic adaptation, increase of motor and functional abilities.
