Effects of Ankle Plantar Flexion Training on a Balance Ball on Balance Function in Patients With Subacute Stroke

This paper aimed to investigate the effects of balance training on a balance ball on balance functions in patients with subacute stroke. Ninety patients with subacute stroke were randomly assigned to either ankle plantar flexion exercise on the balance ball (PFBG) (EG-1: n1=30) and ankle plantar flexion exercise on the ground (PFGG)(EG-2: n2=30), or the control group (CG, n3=30). All participants underwent general rehabilitation trainings in daily routine schedule. In addition, the EG-1 and –2 performed the PFBG and PFGG five times a week for 2 weeks (a total of ten sessions) respectively. However, the CG didn’t receive any treatments for improving balance function except the routine exercise. A tool to measurebalance function was a functional reach test (FRT). Subjects of the EG-1 and –2 showed significantly greater post-test values compared to pre-test values in the FRT score (p<.05). Furthermore, change between pre- and post-test values was significantly greater for the EG-1 and EG-2 than the CG, with more favorable change for the EG-1 compared to the EG-2 (p<.05). This finding suggests that balance training used calf muscle strengthening using a balance ball is probably helpful to improve balance function in patients with subacute stroke. Further studies will be needed to assure the generality of this study.
