Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Scapular Postural Stabilization Exercise Program on Balance and Walking in Hemiplegia Methods: The case study was performed for 20 hemiplegia. The experimental group of patients were selected on the following basis. Patients understood doctors directions well, and were able to walk without any help along a stretch of more than 10 meters. they had no functional limit in their upper limb region. The patients of the control group had general therapy once a week, for 30 minutes, up to a total of 20 times for 4 weeks. Results: The results were as following; 1) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their static balance(p<.05). 2) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their faster walking speed(p<.05). 3) scapula postural stabilization exercise had helped the hemiplegia patients in the experimental group with their increase walking ability(p=.001). Conclusion: The research results thus indicate that scapula postural stabilization exercise helps hemiplegia enhance posture control functions. We can thereby conclude this technique will again in the future be very useful for stroke patients in this context.

Background: The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of diaphragm respiration exercise applied to health adults on respiratory function and walking distance. Method: The all subjects are healthy and participated voluntary We had divided 2 group (12 people to compare group, 12 people for diaphragm respiration exercise group). The effects on respiratory function were measured with Spirometer and walking distance were measured with 6 minute walking test. And the t-test was conducted to analyze among the compared group, the diaphragm respiration exercise group the differences between before and after the experiment. Result: Diaphragm respiration exercise group was a Forced Vital Capacity(FVC) and MEF75%, MEF50%, MEF25% increased significantly(p<0.05) between before and after exercise. The control group, however, showed increase MEF25%(p<0.05). Conclusion: Diaphragmatic mobility and FVC, MEF50% were affected by the diaphragm respiration technique, and it is method in order to improve respiratory function.

Background : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program on Balance and Walking in Stroke Patients with Pre-existing hallux valgus. Methods : This study was designed ABA format in single subject research design. The participants were trained the foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for two weeks. Before the treatment is implemented, the baseline (A) data was collected for 5 times. Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training (B) data was collected 10 times during intervention. Baseline (A’) data was collected 5 times after the intervention. Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training proceeded with realignment, and strengthening. The balance was measured by TETRAX Interactive Balance System for static and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and 10m walk test(10 MWT) for dynamic. Results : As a result of the study, the static and dynamic balance were improved after intervention. These effects were maintained even during the regression baseline period. Conclusion : The Results showed that Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training was effective in the improvement of static, dynamic balance and gait.

Background: Community walking training is a walking program conducted outside the home to enable individuals to participate in activities such as visiting shoppin g malls, supermarkets, and banks, as well as engaging in walking, vacations, and leisure activities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community w alking training for stroke patients in Korea over the past 15 years. Methods: Research trends on the effects of community walking training for str oke patients were analyzed using databases such as RISS, SCIENCE ON, and DB PIA. The quality of the selected studies was assessed using the Scottish Interco llegiate Guidelines Network (2013) checklist. Results: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. In the qualitative evaluation, five studies scored 8 out of 10, while three scored between 6 and 7. Intervention sessions ranged from 30 to 65 minutes per session, with a frequency of three to five sessions per week, conducted over 4 to 8 weeks. Conclusion: Community walking training demonstrated positive effects on balance, walking ability, community participation, quality of life, depression, self-efficacy, and lower limb muscle activation in stroke patients.
