“…This shows that the trunk stabilization exercise is also more effective for dynamic balance recovery than general physical therapy. Sin (2009) 23) had 38 patients with stroke perform trunk stabilization exercises, 3 times a week for 7 weeks, and as a result, the trunk stabilization exercise group showed more significant improvements in dynamic balance ability as measured by the, Berg balance scale and TUG than the posture control training group (p<0.05). In this study we report broadly similar results, and this indicates that our intervention was effective for balance recovery.…”

“…In the comparison of TUG results, the PIP and Swiss ball exercise groups exhibited a significant difference in reduced TUG time before and after the exercise, but no significant difference between groups was observed. In a study using TUG in stroke patients divided into trunk stabilization and general balance exercise groups, both groups exhibited a significant difference before and after the exercise program, but no significant difference between groups was found 18 ) . However, it reported that stroke patients’ time to stand and walk was reduced significantly, thereby improving their dynamic balance ability.…”
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation integration pattern (PIP) and Swiss ball training on balance
and pain in elderly patients with chronic low back pain. [Subjects] Participants were
randomly assigned to a PIP training (n=24) and a Swiss ball training group (n=24).
[Methods] The training was performed for 30 minutes per day, three times a week for 6
weeks. Outcome measures included the mean velocity in the X and Y directions using the
Good Balance System®, functional reach test, timed up and go test, and visual
analogue scale. [Results] After completion of training, mean velocity in the X and Y
direction, and the functional reach test, timed up and go test, and visual analogue scale
results showed statistically significant improvements in the PIP and Swiss ball training
groups. However, there was no significant difference in the functional reach test, timed
up and go test, and visual analogue scale results between the two groups. [Conclusion]
This study indicated that PIP training improved the balance ability of elderly patients
with chronic low back pain.
“… Shin et al (2009) randomized 38 hemiplegia patients with stroke to 20 TSE and 18 traditional balance exercise groups. After 7 weeks of intervention, BBS was observed in both groups and showed significant improvement after intervention.…”
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of diaphragm and deep abdominal muscle exercise (DDAME) on walking ability (WA) and balance ability (BA) in subjects with hemiplegia due to stroke. Study subjects consisted of twenty patients diagnosed with hemiplegia due to stroke. They were randomized into a control group (CG) (n=10) that performed traditional exercise and an experimental group (EG) (n=10) that performed DDAME. The WA was measured using the 10-m walking test (10MWT) and 6-min walk test (6MWT). The BA was measured using the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Berg’s balance scale (BBS). Paired t-test was performed to compare differences within the groups before and after intervention. The analysis of covariance was performed to compare the differences between the EG and CG. The level of significance was set at α=0.05. Within-group changes in 10MWT and 6MWT were significantly different in both the EG (P<0.05) and CG (P<0.05). There was significantly more improvement in the 10MWT and 6MWT in the EG than in the CG (P<0.05). Within-group changes in TUG and BBS were significantly different in both the EG (P<0.05) and the CG (P<0.05). There was significantly more improvement in TUG and BBS in the EG than in the CG (P<0.05). DDAME program, with diaphragm and inspiratory muscle strengthening exercises, is needed for patients experiencing difficulty in WA, BA, trunk asymmetry, abnormal alignment, mobility of trunk muscles, power, or endurance decline.
