Abstract
This study compared the effectiveness of
treadmill training and conventional physical
therapy training on improving ambulatory
ability, gait pattern, and functional
independence of stroke patients. Eleven
stroke patients participated in the study, but
only seven completed the study. There were
four subjects in the control group and three
subjects in the experimental group. Both
groups received a five-week physical therapy
program with a minimum of three sessions
every week. The control group received
ambulation training based on knowledge in
neurophysiology, whereas the experimental
group received treadmill training.
Ambulatory function, gait patterns, and level
of independence in performing daily
activities were compared between the groups
before, immediately after, and one-month
after training. The results did not reveal any
significant group difference on these gait and
functional measures across the three tests.
Past research has shown that intensive
treadmill training results in better
improvement in gait velocity than intensive
conventional therapy. The present study,
however, showed that treadmill training with
moderate intensity did not produce better
effectiveness than conventional therapy of
similar intensity. It is suggested that when
treadmill training is used as the primary gaittraining
program for stroke patients, an
appropriate intensity should be chosen for
this type of training to show superior
treatment effects.
