Brief Summary

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

The experimental group received 15 minutes of lateral stair walking exercise and 30 minutes of traditional physiotherapy (strengthening exercise, balance training and gait training) each time.

The measures were done by one experience physical therapist (not involve in the intervention) before receiving the intervention and at weeks four, eight, and twelve. It took 45 minutes for each subject to complete all measures each time.

Detailed Description

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

For lateral stair walking training, the dynamic stair trainer features four steps. The height can be adjusted from 0 to 16.5 centimeters, the stair was 0.74 m in width, with each step being 16 cm deep and 10 cm long. The experimental group received different heights of lateral stair walking training according to the patients' ability. The patients went up the stairs with the affected leg up first and they went down stairs with the sound leg leading first. For safety, the subjects held a handrail during the lateral stair walking exercise. The control group received traditional physiotherapy (strengthening exercise, balance training and gait training) for 30 minutes. Both the experimental group and control group received the intervention once a week for 12 weeks. All the interventions were done by the same physical therapist.
