Walking Ability of Stroke Patients according to Various Feedback System based on Treadmill Training

Objective: To examine the effects of various feedback system training programs on the walking ability of stroke patients. Method: Forty-four inpatients who were undergoing physical therapy in B hospital were divided into two groups of 20. Each group underwent two different feedback system training for 30 minutes each day, three times per week, for eight weeks from June to August of, 2015. The cadence, stride time, step time, step width, stride length, step length, st ance phase, and 10 m Walk Test were used to examine the patient's walking abilities. A repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to compare the differences bet ween these factors, before and after the training, within each group. In addition, an; independent t-test was conducted to compare the differences in the amounts of changes before, at 4, and 8 weeks after the training, between the two groups. Results: In the comparison within and between each group, both groups showed significant differences(p<.05) in the cadence, step time, stride length, step length, and 10 m WT before and after 8 weeks. Overall, the MFG group showed greater improvement when compared to the FG group(p<.05). Conclusion: In terms of efficient training, the mirror and feedback system training on the treadmill was more effective to improve a stroke patient's gait.
