“…Veneri D got the similar result with equal stride length bilaterally at 16 weeks which also showed statistically significant improvement similar to our study. Treadmill training with elastic band configured same pattern as our study [15].…”

“…There exist devices like Hip flexion orthosis [9], Elastic band orthosis [10], Wearable tubing assistive walking device [11], AFO shaped band [12] and wearable tubing to address ankle dorsiflexion, hip and knee flexion with patient either in non-weight or weight bearing positions. Elastic resistance training has been reported to increase gait, mobility, balance and reduced pain [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Apart from its use in strengthening program, elastic band can also be used in assisted gait training [15].…”

Introduction: Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disabilities, the restoration of walking plays a prime role in his rehabilitation. The reduction in gait performance may prevent the resumption of activities of daily living. Aim of the study:To compare the effectiveness of elastic band assisted gait training over the task-oriented circuit interval gait training in stroke survivors.Methodology: A total of 50 male stroke survivors with functional ambulatory category score ≥4, mini mental state 24-30, normal cardio-pulmonary status and age between 30-60 years were recruited and randomly distributed in two groups. Group 1 received conventional exercises (task-oriented approach in the form of circuit interval gait training) and Group 2 received elastic band assisted gait training with task-oriented approach in the form of circuit interval gait training.Outcome measures: Stride length (both side), cadence, walking speed and gait profile score (both side). Measurements were taken with gait laboratory before and at the end of 6 weeks of treatment, for 45 minutes divided into nine 5-minute blocks separated by 5-minute rest periods 5 days/week. Results:Overall result of this study showed that experiment group had significantly improved in terms of speed, cadence, stride length of paretic limb, gait profile score of non paretic limb from pre to post test measurements, but no significant improvement in conventional group. Gait profile score of paretic limbs had significantly improved. Both the groups had significantly improved in terms of stride length of non paretic limb from pre to post-test measurements; however, the experiment group showed more improvement than the conventional group. Conclusion:Elastic band assisted gait training over the task-oriented circuit interval gait training is found to be effective for the hemiplegic gait.

“…In previous studies, an elastic band was applied to the lower extremities of stroke survivors to determine whether it could induce changes in gait. The results demonstrated that the movement of muscles around the joint were assisted by the band, resulting in significant improvement in gait cadence [ 3 , 11 , 12 ]. However, few studies have investigated such uses of elastic bands.…”

Knee Muscles Strength Can be Improved by Using an Elastic Band as an Assistive Device for Knee-Ankle Complex

Background There are various tools and methods used for strength exercise. Elastic bands, one of the resistance exercise tools, have been used for various purposes, including muscle strengthening; however, there is very little evidence supporting their efficacy. The study was performed to investigate the effect of knee-ankle elastic bands on knee muscle strength-related parameters according to sex in healthy adults. Material/Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Twenty-one participants (11 female and 10 male) were studied using a cross-over design. Isokinetic concentric knee extension and flexion strength was measured at 60°/s and 180°/s with and without application of a therapeutic elastic band in the shape of an “8”, with knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion. The variables related to muscle power automatically calculated in the protocol of the isokinetic system were compared according to sex and angular velocity. Results Peak moment (PM), PM/body weight, average power, total work, and the agonist/antagonist ratio, demonstrated significant improvement ( P <0.05) at both 60°/s and 180°/s “with” compared to “without” the elastic band according to sex. Conclusions The use of therapeutic elastic bands in the shape of a figure 8 with knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion may be used as assistive devices for improving strength in muscles supporting the knee. Further high-quality studies are needed to assess the potential of elastic bands as assistive devices and not merely as exercise tools. Therapeutic elastic bands in the shape of an “8” with knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion may be useful in sports activities.

“…A partir disso, elaborar um método que possibilite a continuidade na prática de exercícios, tão importante para essa população, que seja eficaz e de baixo custo, possa ser uma estratégia interessante. 6,7 O uso de materiais como aparelhos de musculação, pesos livres e faixas elásticas são de uso comum para a prática de exercício físico e trazem resultados importantes na força muscular, capacidade funcional e composição corporal de adultos e idosos, inclusive para aqueles com sequelas após AVE. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] As faixas elásticas são materiais de fácil utilização para prática de exercícios. São portáteis, de baixo custo, com formato que permite uma diversidade de movimentos e muito utilizadas para desenvolvimento de força muscular.…”

Objetivo: Comparar os resultados obtidos na força muscular de membros inferiores e capacidade funcional de pessoas com sequelas neurológicas após Acidente Vascular Encefálico, obtidos por meio de dois métodos de intervenção: uso de faixas elásticas e aparelhos de musculação. Métodos: 14 pessoas idades 58,5±9,4 (07 Grupo A; 07 Grupo B) participaram do programa de exercícios (grupo A intervenção com faixas elásticas e grupo B intervenção em aparelhos de musculação). Resultados: Houve aumento da força muscular, melhora do equilíbrio dinâmico e na capacidade funcional em sentar e levantar da cadeira para ambos os grupos. Conclusão: Exercícios físicos realizados com uso de faixas elásticas trazem benefícios para essas pessoas, tanto quanto os realizados em aparelhos de musculação.
