Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research was to discuss the effect of backward walking treadmill training on balance ability, speed of walking and cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with chronic stroke.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Walking training is a good method and strategy to improve postural stability, balance, gait symmetry, and increase walking ability. Generally, there are many walking training theories and methods for patients with chronic stroke and treadmill walking training is applied in recent years. Previous studies showed that patients with stroke improve the walking abilities and speed after the walking treadmill training. However, most studies have demonstrated that forward walking treadmill training improved balance and walking ability in patients with stroke, but fewer studies have investigated the effects on backward walking treadmill training. However, no studies to date have investigated the effects of backward walking treadmill training for patients with chronic stroke.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

backward walking treadmill training

The intervention group not only received four weeks of conventional physical therapy but also accepted additional four weeks of backward walking treadmill training at the same time

Group Type OTHER

backward walking treadmill training

Intervention Type OTHER

subjects accepted 30 minutes backward walking treadmill training. a week for four weeks.

conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

subjects accepted 30 minutes traditional physical therapy three times a week for four weeks

conventional physical therapy

The conventional physical therapy training focused on strengthening, postural control, functional mobility and forward gait training program but excluded backward walking training
