【論文の内容の要旨】
Background: Trunk performance and sitting balance, especially lateral sitting control, are important predictors of functional outcome after stroke. However, no studies have focused only on trunk function in the frontal plane for persons with acute-phase stroke.
Objective: To investigate the effects of lateral sitting training on a tilting platform in persons with stroke.
Methods: An assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was carried out involving inpatients at a stroke rehabilitation center. Patients were allocated to either an experimental group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). The
experimental group sat without leg support on a platform tilted 10u to the paretic side in the frontal plane, while the controls sat on a horizontal platform.
Both groups were asked to move their trunk laterally from the paretic side to
the nonparetic side. In addition to conventional therapy, this training was
performed 60 times/session, with 6 sessions/week. Trunk function was assessed
using the Trunk Control Test (TCT), and the ability to move the trunk laterally
was evaluated kinematically. Measurements were performed at baseline and
after training. Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to test
