The effects of the three-dimensional active trunk training exercise on trunk control ability, trunk muscle strength, and balance ability in sub-acute stroke patients: A randomized controlled pilot study

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Trunk control ability has been identified as an important early predictor of functional recovery after stroke. OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to investigate the effects of three-dimensional active trunk training exercise on trunk control ability, trunk muscle strength, and balance ability in sub-acute stroke patients. METHODS: Twenty-four sub-acute stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental (n= 12) or control (n= 12) group. The experimental group (EG) performed three-dimensional active t… Show more

“…36 Our findings are in line with those of previous studies showing that three-dimensional trunk training is superior to conventional treatment in improving balance and gait in patients with subacute stroke. 5 , 6 , 37 Therefore, the observed improvements in HIMTD patients may be because they received more multidirectional exercises, which may have improved anticipatory postural adjustments (dynamic balance and coordination) in all directions. This also implies that HIMTD maximizes the combination of good muscle synergies and minimizes the effect of destabilizing muscle synergies, leading to improved trunk control.…”
