The effect of Draw-in Pelvic Tilt Training Onset Times of Core Muscle and Postural Control in Adults Hemiplegic Patients

Objective: The objective of this research is to conduct a 4week study on two groups of stroke patientsdraw-in pelvic tilt training Group and general pelvic tilt training Group: and compared the results on the patients’onset time of core muscles and postural control. Method: This research was conducted on 20 random stroke patients undergoing physiotherapy at Gyeonggi-do C hospital from August, 2013 until October, 2013. The patients were divided into 2 groups 10 undergoing draw-in pelvic tilt training and 10undergoing pelvic tilt training.Both groups trained for 30 minutes a twice per day, 5 times a week, for 4weeks. Measurement toolsused were, trunk impairment scale(TIS), postural assessment scale for stroke patients(PASS), and functional reachtest (FRT). Surface electromyography(sEMG) was used in order to examine onset time of their core muscles.The difference the 2 groups was compared using paired t -test. Results: After 4 weeks of experimentation, the draw-in pelvic tilt training Group showed a more significant difference(p<0.05) in trunk impairment scale(TIS), postural assessment scale for stroke patients(PASS), and functional reach test(FRT), andsEMG. Conclusion: It can be concluded thatDraw-in pelvic tilt training is more effective inenhancing the postural control ability of stroke patient.
