[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of unstable surface trunk stabilization exercise on the abdominal muscle structure and balance of stroke patients. [Subjects] The subjects were divided into two groups: an unstable surface trunk stabilization exercise group (n=13), and a stable surface trunk stabilization exercise group (n=11). [Methods] Both groups performed trunk stabilization exercise for 30 minutes, 3 days per week for 6 weeks. Abdominal muscle thickness and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were measured at the baseline and after 6 weeks. [Results] There was a significant improvement in the internal oblique muscle thickness, transversus abdominis thickness and balance ability of the unstable surface trunk stabilization exercise group. [Conclusion] The unstable surface trunk stabilization exercise improved the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles and balance ability. These results suggest that unstable surface trunk exercise is useful in the rehabilitation stroke patients.
[目的]本研究探讨不稳定表面躯干稳定训练对脑卒中患者腹部肌肉结构及平衡能力的影响。[对象]将受试者分为两组：不稳定表面躯干稳定训练组（n = 13）和稳定表面躯干稳定训练组（n = 11）。[方法]两组均进行躯干稳定训练，每次30分钟，每周3天，共6周。在基线及6周后测量腹部肌肉厚度及伯格平衡量表（BBS）。[结果]不稳定表面躯干稳定训练组的腹内斜肌厚度、腹横肌厚度及平衡能力有显著改善。[结论]不稳定表面躯干稳定训练改善了腹内斜肌和腹横肌以及平衡能力。这些结果表明不稳定表面躯干训练对脑卒中患者的康复有益。
