Stroke patients have a lower quality of life than other people.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of balance and gait function of stroke patients on their quality of life.
Twenty-seven subjects participated in the experiment. Balance ability was assessed using a SpaceBalance 3D and a Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Gait function was measured with a Biodex Gait Trainer 2 treadmill system. The quality of life of the subjects was assessed through the Stroke specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL).
Correlation analysis between balance and quality of life showed that weight bearing distribution and BBS are positive correlated with quality of life. In addition, gait speed, step length of the paretic limb, and step length of the non-paretic limb were also found to be correlated with quality of life.
Balance and gait function must all be considered in order to improve the quality of life of stroke patients.
中风患者的生活质量低于其他人。
本研究的目的是探讨中风患者的平衡和步态功能对其生活质量的影响。
27名受试者参与了实验。使用SpaceBalance 3D和伯格平衡量表(BBS)评估平衡能力。使用Biodex步态训练器2跑步机系统测量步态功能。通过中风特异性生活质量量表(SS-QOL)评估受试者的生活质量。
平衡与生活质量的相关性分析表明,负重分布和BBS与生活质量呈正相关。此外,还发现步态速度、患侧肢体步长和非患侧肢体步长与生活质量相关。
为了提高中风患者的生活质量,必须综合考虑平衡和步态功能。
