Therapeutic Effects of reaching with forward bending of trunk on Muscular Activity, center of pressure displacement in Patients with Stroke

Objective: The objective of this study was to perform forward bending of the trunk and reaching training in chronic stroke patients and to investigate subsequent changes in muscular activity, center of pressure(COP) displacement. Method: Twenty-three chronic stroke patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 10 patients in the forward bending of the trunk and reaching group and 12 patients in the control group. Reaching with Forward Bending of Trunk exercise were performed before and after to compare muscular activity, center of pressure(COP) displacement. Results: In result, affected side of the rectus femoris showed significant increase in muscular activity (p<.05) and affected side of the biceps femoris showed significant increase in muscular activity (p<.05) in Reaching with Forward Bending of Trunk exercise group. There was no significant difference in the control group. center of pressure(COP) total displacement showed significant decrease(p<.05) in Reaching with Forward Bending of Trunk exercise group. There was no significant difference in the control group. Conclusions: From the results of the study, it can be assumed that Reaching with Forward Bending of Trunk exercise can be an effective way of exercise for chronic stroke patients.
