Muscle tone changes in the lower limbs of stroke patients induced by trunk stabilization exercises
bstract. [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of trunk stabilization exercises on the spasticity of the lower limbs in stroke patients. [Subject] The subject of this study was a 38-year-old male patient who experienced a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage, and had motor paralysis symptoms and spasticity on the left side. [Methods] The Hmax/Mmax ratio was measured bef...
متن کاملTrunk muscle activity in healthy subjects during bridging stabilization exercises
BACKGROUND Trunk bridging exercises are often used as therapeutic exercises for lumbopelvic stabilization. These exercises focus on the retraining of muscle coordination patterns in which optimal ratios between local segmental stabilizing and global torque producing muscle activity are assumed to be essential. However, a description of such ratios is lacking. The purpose of this study was to in...
متن کاملExercises using the upper limbs hyperinflate COPD patients more than exercises using the lower limbs at the same metabolic demand.
BACKGROUND Lower and upper body exercise are mandatory constituents of a rehabilitation programme for patients with COPD. However, it is not known how much these exercises may induce pulmonary dynamic hyperinflation (DH). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the DH in patients with COPD exercising the upper and lower parts of the body at the same metabolic demand. METHODS Sixteen patients aged 63 +/- 13 y...
متن کاملEvaluation of Changes in Nerve Conduction Velocity in the Lower Limbs of Football Players
Background & Aims: Lower limbs’ nerves are exposed to mechanical injuries in athletes (e.g. football players), because of the excessive physical demand of their job. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of regular and intense sports, such as football, on nerves in the lower leg. This study was conducted during 2006 to 2007 in the Shiraz Rehabilitation Faculty, Univer...
متن کاملTrunk exercises performed on an unstable surface improve trunk muscle activation, postural control, and gait speed in patients with stroke.
[Purpose] This study examined the effects of trunk exercises performed on an unstable surface on trunk muscle activation, postural control, and gait speed in stroke patients. [Subjects] Twenty-four participants with stroke were recruited in this study and randomly distributed into experimental (n = 12) and control groups (n = 12). [Methods] Subjects in the experimental group participated in tru...
