Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate what influence the task-oriented activities on weight support for the stroke patients with hemiplegia. A total of 30 patients with stroke patients participated. Subjects were randomly divided into 15 patients in a task-oriented activities group and 15 patients in a simple repetitive balance training group both therapy was applied for 30 min in a day and 3 times in a week for 4 weeks. The MTD balance system was used to evaluate weight support by paretic side in stroke patients. To compare the treatments we used paired t-test and independent sample t-test. The task-oriented activities group and simple repetitive balance activities group showed statically significant differences before and after all of the posture. The task-oriented activities group showed a more significant difference compared with the simple repetitive balance training group when standing up from a chair and stretching the impaired arm. The task-oriented activities on a paretic side for 4 weeks had an effect on weight support after stroke patients with hemiplegia.
