ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo study the effect of Tetrax balance test and exercise on the balance function of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods50 stroke patients with hemiplegia and with disorder of balance function were divided into treatment group (25 cases) and control group (25 cases). The patients in both groups received regularly rehabilitation train and medical therapy. The treatment group was given balance train and motor function train responded to the analysis of the Tetrax balance assessment as well. They were evaluated with Berg balance scale, motor function of lower extreme in Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and activities of daily living (ADL) before and 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after treatment respectively. ResultsThere was no difference in balance function and motor function of lower extreme and ADL between treatment group and control group before treatment (P>0.05), but 4 week, 8 week, 12 week after treatment, there were significant improvement for balance function and motor function of lower extreme in both groups (P<0.01), and the treatment group improved more significantly than those of control group (P<0.05).ConclusionTexrax balance assessment can help understand the obstacle in balance function and formulate more suitable rehabilitation treatment.
