PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks suspension-rail giat traing on ankle ROM, static blance, dynamic balance and gait speed. METHODS The participants were composed of thirty-six stroke patients who were diagnosed hemiplegia in our study. As for group classification, subjects were divided into two group: 8 weeks suspension-rail giat traing group and control group. Storke patients participated in suspension-rail gait training program and traditional physical therapy for 8 weeks. We measured their ankle ROM (goniometer), static balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS), dynamic balance (Timed Up & Go, TUG) and gait speed (10 m walking test, 10MWT), when before begun the program, after 8 weeks. RESULTS After 8 weeks, suspension-rail giat traing group showed significant improvement on ankle ROM (p<.001), static balance (p<.001), gait speed (p<.05) than control group. But dynamic balance were not founded significant difference. CONCLUSIONS The result indicated that suspension-rail gait training would be effective exercise to gait speed and static balance for patients with hemiplegia stroke.
