[Purpose] To examine the effects of sling exercise on the balance of post-stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 18 post-stroke patients (13 men; mean age, 55.3 years) were recruited, and randomly assigned them into sling exercise (n=10) and control exercise (n=8) groups. The Good Balance System was used for measurement of velocity (anteroposterior and mediolateral, mm/s), velocity moment (mm/s) of the movement of the center of pressure, and distance (anteroposterior and mediolateral, mm) between the center of pressure and the center point. The changes in mediolateral velocity, anteroposterior velocity, and velocity moment were compared between two groups in addition to the comparison of distance between the center of pressure and the center point of postural sway. [Results] The sling exercise group showed more significant improvements in anteroposterior velocity, mediolateral velocity, velocity moment, anteroposterior distance, and mediolateral distance than the control exercise group. [Conclusion] Sling exercise improved post-stroke balance performance and could be used as a therapeutic strategy to improve post-stroke functional recovery.
[目的] 探讨悬吊运动对脑卒中患者平衡能力的影响。[对象与方法] 共招募18例脑卒中患者（男性13例；平均年龄55.3岁），并将他们随机分为悬吊运动组（n = 10）和对照运动组（n = 8）。采用平衡良好系统测量速度（前后方向和内外侧方向，mm/s）、压力中心移动的速度矩（mm/s）以及压力中心与中心点之间的距离（前后方向和内外侧方向，mm）。除了比较两组在姿势摆动时压力中心与中心点之间的距离外，还比较了两组在内外侧速度、前后速度和速度矩方面的变化。[结果] 悬吊运动组在前后速度、内外侧速度、速度矩、前后距离和内外侧距离方面的改善比对照运动组更为显著。[结论] 悬吊运动改善了脑卒中后的平衡能力，可作为改善脑卒中后功能恢复的治疗策略。
