The Effects of treadmill training on stroke patients Walking speed, Balance, ADL and Anxiety disorder

Objective: The purpose of this research is to conduct a 12-week comparative research program between a treadmill training group and an over-ground training group of stroke patients in terms of walking speed, balance, ADL, and anxiety, and to present efficient gait training. Method: 40 stroke patients were randomly classified into a treadmill training group and an overland training group. Then, they were measured on walking speed, balance, ADL, and anxiety before and after the training. The independent t-test was used to test for differences between the two groups. The groups took part in a 45-minute gait training program 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Results: When the differences before and after the training were compared, the treadmill training group and the over-ground training group showed a significant difference in their velocities-up 0.27 m/s and 0.07 m/s, respectively(p<.05), and BBS scores increased by 7.6 and 4.6, respectively(p<.05). Conclusion: The research indicates that treadmill training is more efficient than over-ground training in improving the walking speed and balance of stroke patients.
