Outline of Final Research Achievements

An importance of training of gait related proximal muscles is well known for improvement of gait abnormality in patients with stroke. We investigated an efficacy of the training of gait related proximal muscles such as kneeling-gait and scooting in long sitting position for elderly including patients with stroke. Results suggest the training was effective in people who were able to perform enough amount of exercise during trial. Further, result indicated that we should investigate training adaptability between patients and training task.
