Objective of the study was to investigate effects of task specific circuit gait training to improve gait parameters and mobility among sub-acute and chronic stroke patients. A randomized control trial was conducted on stroke survivors of either gender being capable of standing 10 seconds and having 2-4 score on Rankin Modified Scale. Sample comprised of 30 participants randomly assigned into two groups. Training was given for a session of 40-50 minutes for 3-4 days/week for six weeks. Timed get up and go test (TUG), Cadence, Step Length and Step Width assessed measures of concern. The sample included 16 males and 14 females with mean age of 54.10 ± 10.10 years. After six weeks, significant improvement was recorded in TUG (=0.014). Cadence (=0.001), step length (<0.001) and step width (=0.009) were also significantly improved. Circuit gait training improves mobility and gait in stroke patients.
本研究的目的是调查特定任务循环步态训练对改善亚急性和慢性中风患者步态参数及活动能力的影响。对能够站立10秒且改良Rankin量表评分为2 - 4分的男女中风幸存者进行了一项随机对照试验。样本包括30名参与者，随机分为两组。训练为期六周，每周3 - 4天，每次40 - 50分钟。采用定时起立行走测试（TUG）、步频、步长和步宽作为评估指标。样本包括16名男性和14名女性，平均年龄为54.10 ± 10.10岁。六周后，TUG（P = 0.014）有显著改善。步频（P = 0.001）、步长（P < 0.001）和步宽（P = 0.009）也有显著改善。循环步态训练可改善中风患者的活动能力和步态。
