The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the core stability training on postural control ability and respiratory function in chronic stroke patient. Experimental group (n=15) received core stability training. Control group (n=15) received general exercise. We measured maintenance and change of posture, balance and coordination ability with postural assessment scale for stroke (PASS) and trunk impairment scale (TIS). The respiratory functions were measured forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV 1) with spirometer. After training, the PASS and TIS scores was significantly improved in experimental group (p<.05), and the experimental group showed significantly difference from control group (p<.05). In respiratory function test, experimental group more significantly increased than before (p<.05), and showed significantly difference from control group (p<.05). The results of this study showed that the core stability training may be appropriate for improving the trunk stability and respiratory function in chronic stroke patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
