| Research Abstract |
The aim of this basic study was to examine an assessment that predicts the recovery of the walking ability from the aspect of anticipatory posture control in the function recovery state at the sitting level after the stroke. The tilting angle of the trunk associated with the body weight transfer during the motor task lifting the unaffected lower limb on the sitting was compared with the ability of walking and standing function. For the stroke patients of the chronic maintenance state, the tilting angle of trunk sideward on the motor task was correlated significantly to walking ability and standing function. For the stroke patients of the recovery state, the maximum tilting angle of trunk sideward on the motor task was small significantly for ambulatory group compared to unambulatory group. There was suggested that the anticipatory postural control on the sitting was maintained regardless of the recovery level flowing stroke, and the recovery of walking and standing function were influenced by the paralysis and the muscular power of trunk and affected lower limb related to the trunk stability.
