Abstract

The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze the effects of ankle strength exercise and functional electrical stimulation on ability balance control and gait of stroke patients. The results of the study will be used as basic data for help in independent life of stroke patients. Subject person of this study is 20 stroke patients, sex ratio was 10 men, 10 women. Experimental group (5 men, 5 woman) ran parallel ankle strength exercise and functional electric stimulation treatment, and control group (5 men, 5 woman) ran parallel functional electric stimulation treatment and exercise treatment. Measured balance ability and walking speed, ankle angle after 8 weeks experiment 3 inning a week. The results were as follows; 1. Weight bearing rate by Berg balance scale and BPM increased to keep in mind in experimental grooup and control group, and change that position sway by BPM, sway path, sway area, the all sway speeds displayed decrease that keep in mind, and are less relatively in control group was seen. And difference of change amount between two groups displayed statistically significant. It means that this improved two groups total balance ability but ankle strength exercise and same time of functional electric stimulation treatment are more effect. 2. Change of walking speed and ankle joint angle displayed decrease that two groups keep in mind after all experiments in TUG that display walking speed in experimental group and control group. But, ankle joint angle both was no difference that two groups keep in mind after and experiment. And difference that keep in mind in walking speed too as result that significant difference of change amount of two groups appeared. When applied running parallel ankle strength exercise and functional electric stimulation treatment in stroke patients, both experimental group and control group appeared that balance and ability to walk are increased. Also, was expose that difference that keep in mind between group as result that significant difference of change amount of two groups is. Can explain that this means that ankle strength exercise and same time of functional electric stimulation treatment were more effective in treatment of stroke patient.
