| Objective To investigate the rehabilitation effect of training intensity of trunk core muscle group on trunk control, balanced walking and daily living ability of stroke patients.Methods Ninety stroke hemiplegic patients hospitalized in the Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from April 2017 to March 2018 were randomly divided into group A, B and C according to random numerical table method, with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of routine treatment, the patients in the three groups were trained with different intensities of trunk core muscle group training, including group A once/day, group B twice/day, and group C 3 times/day, 30 min for each training, for 5 days every week and for altogether three months. (TCT), (BBS), (FAC), (MBI) test were used respectively to assess the balance, trunk control function, walking and daily living ability of the three groups in 1 month, 2 months and 3 months before and after treatment.Results There was no significant difference in trunk control ability, balanced walking function and living ability score among three groups before treatment (P>0.05). The scores of trunk control, balanced walking and ability of daily living in three groups increased gradually after 1 month, 2 months and 3 months of treatment (P<0.05). After 3 months and 2 months, and after 2 months and 1 month, the score of trunk control and balanced ability in group C was higher than that in group B, that in group B was higher than that in group A, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in walking and daily living ability among three groups during one month (P>0.05), but one month later, there was significant difference between group C and group B (P>0.05), and between group B and group A after one month (all P<0.05).Conclusions Strengthening the core muscle strength of the trunk can significantly improve the patients' ability of trunk control, balanced walking and daily living ability, and shorten the recovery time. |
