Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate effect of task specific lower extremity training in cognitive and gait function with stroke patients.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients were randomly assigned to a task specific lower extremity training group and a control group. The task specific lower extremity training group was trained a task specific lower extremity therapy and a conventional physical therapy. The control group was trained two sessions of conventional physical therapy. Each group was trained 5 days a week for 3 weeks. After that, both groups were trained conventional physical therapy 5 days a week for 2 weeks, equally. The primary outcome was assessment with the Mini-Mental State Examination, Global Deterioration Scale, visual and auditory digit span test, forward and backward. The secondary outcome was evaluated by berg balance scale, 10 meters walking test, 6 minutes Walking Test, Time UP and GO Test, Korean-Modified Barthel Index. The outcome measures were assessed before and after 3 weeks of training and 5 weeks follow up.
Results: After training, the task specific lower extremity training group showed significant improvement in global deterioration scale compared with the control group after 3 and 3 weeks. There was significant improvement in backward visual span test at only the task specific lower extremity training group after 3 and 5 weeks. The task specific lower extremity training group was statistically significant improvement in berg balance scale and 6 minutes walking test compared with the control group.
Conclusion: Task specific lower extremity training could be useful strategy for improving cognitive and gait function in stroke patients.
