Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical effects of trunk stabilization exercise in patients with stroke via searching previous studies and orgarnizing their results on arm function, balance and walking. Literature review was conducted on the domestic journals published from 2010 to 2020. The journals were divided into 3 categories by physical function as follows: upper limb function, balance, and walking ability. 18 journals were finally included and the PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) method was used for systematic analysis. 16 of the 18 journals applied the experiment to the experimental group and the control group, while others were carried out in a single group. Regarding the functions, four journals were on both upper limb function and balance, seven journals were on the only balance control, and seven journals were on both balance and gait ability. As a result, journals showed that trunk stabilization exercise has significant improvements in balance and walking ability. We suggested that trunk stabilization exercise may be helpful for improving the upper limb function, balance and gait ability in patients with chronic stroke.
