This study compared the effect of training ankle joint and hip joint thera-band exercise on balance.
METHODS:The participants were divided into two groups of 11 each. Group A performed hip exercise after ankle exercise, and Group B performed ankle exercise after hip exercise. Using a green thera-band, the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion and hip flexion and hip extension were exercised repeatedly for 15 seconds three times with a five-second rest between each set. After the exercise and measurement of one area were complete, the exercise and measurement of the other area were performed at one-day intervals. The balance ability was assessed using a Tetrax and Y-balance test and repeated three times; the best values were taken.
RESULTS:In the stability index (ST) of the static balance, the hip joint exercise group (HTG) during the follow-up of †Corresponding Author : Seong-gil Kim
