Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Sit and standing balance measured with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Trunk Control Test (TCT)
Secondary outcome
Muscle strength of the lower extremity measured by the Motricity Index (MI), walking skills measured with the Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) and the independence on activities of daily living measured with the Barthel Index (BI)
Background summary
Objective: To evaluate dynamic supported standig versus conventional balancetraining performed by patients with subacute stroke.
Design: pilotstudy
Setting: Geriatric rehabilitation centre
Participants: Non-ambulatory participants in the subacute phase after stroke
Intervention: Usual care that includes either balancetraining in a dynamic standing frame (intervention group) or conventional balancetraining (control group) for 6 weeks.
Main measures: Preliminary effectiveness was assessed with the Trunk Control Test and the Berg Blance Scale (primary outcome). Other measures of physical functioning are Barthel Index, Motricity Index of lower extremiy and the Functional Ambulation Category.
Recruitment in the Netherlands.
Study objective
According to the current Dutch guidelines it is advised to train task-specific and goal-driven with stroke patients. This shows to be almost impossible with a lot of stroke patients in the early subacute phase, especially with the severely affected ones. Therefore only training in function remains. An essential part of this is to practice balance. The improvement of balance achieved by conventional physical therapy treatment are limited. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of balance training with a dynamic supported standing frame compared to conventional physical therapy treatment on severely affected subacute stroke patients.
Study design
T(0) intake
T(1) after 8 weeks of treatment
Intervention
