[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the knee joint proprioception in weight-bearing (WB) and non-weight-bearing (NWB) positions and to study the difference between the methods in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 15 stroke patients who were randomly scheduled to perform both positions by a physical therapist not involved in the study. The subjects performed the positions (WB and NWB) based on a randomized controlled cross-sectional design. WB subjects were positioned in one-leg standing to assess the knee joint position sense. NWB subjects were instructed to sit comfortably in a chair and maintain the knees at 90° of flexion with the leg out of the plinth. [Results] The results revealed that the WB position showed a significant difference in knee position sense. The proprioception sense in the WB position was a higher than that in the NWB position. [Conclusion] The knee proprioception of chronic stroke patients differs between the weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing positions.
[目的]本研究旨在调查慢性卒中患者在负重（WB）和非负重（NWB）姿势下的膝关节本体感觉，并研究这两种方法之间的差异。[对象与方法]研究对象为15例卒中患者，由未参与本研究的物理治疗师随机安排在两种姿势下进行测试。受试者基于随机对照横断面设计进行两种姿势（WB和NWB）的测试。WB组受试者单腿站立以评估膝关节位置觉。NWB组受试者被指示舒适地坐在椅子上，将膝关节保持在90°屈曲位，腿部离开检查台。[结果]结果显示，WB姿势下膝关节位置觉存在显著差异。WB姿势下的本体感觉高于NWB姿势。[结论]慢性卒中患者在负重和非负重姿势下的膝关节本体感觉存在差异。
