Interventions/Control_1

Intervention group: Gait practice with the paralyzed side of the knee joint fixed in the extended position using a lower limb orthosis for 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks.

Interventions/Control_2

Control group: Patients will practice normal walking at a comfortable walking speed for 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks, wearing ordinary shoes without fixing the knee joint with a lower limb orthosis. At that time, if the physiotherapist in charge visually judges that the paralyzed leg is hindered by foot pinching during the swing phase, a short leg orthosis will be worn.

Key inclusion criteria

Hemiplegia due to stroke
The motor function of the lower limb is V or lower on the Brunnstrom Recovery Stage (obvious paralysis).
The patient's pre-disease walking ability is 4 or higher on the Functional Ambulation Category (capable of independent walking).
Able to walk more than 5 meters continuously without assistance (use of braces or cane is allowed)
Persons who maintain the range of motion of the ankle dorsiflexion joint in the knee extension position(angle of 0 degrees or more) and the range of motion of the hip joint extension joint (angle of 5 degrees or more)

Key exclusion criteria

Patients with impaired consciousness or higher brain dysfunction that is difficult to measure with electromyography or motion analysis equipment (e.g., hemispatial neglect, attention disorder, aphasia, mental disorder)
Patients with severe vision loss, visual field impairment, or vertigo
Those who have a history of other neurological, respiratory, circulatory, or orthopedic diseases that may affect walking

34

Results

We compared the effects of walking training with and without using KO on TLA. As a result, the KO group increased TLA more than the no-KO group.

Baseline Characteristics

Subjects were 34 hemiplegic stroke patients who met the selection criteria among those who were admitted to the research facility from October 2021 to April 2022 and underwent physical therapy. Patients with acute onset ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by CT or MRI, those who can walk 5m independently (whether using a cane or braces for upper and lower legs), lower extremity paralysis ( Brunnstrom convalescence: BRS V or lower)), functional walking category (FAC) before illness: 4 or higher (able to walk independently), knee extension Participants were defined as those who maintained ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (0 or more) and those who maintained hip extension range of motion (5 or more).Persons with cognitive dysfunction and higher brain dysfunction (unilateral spatial neglect, attention disorder, aphasia, mental disorder), severe visual impairment, visual field disorder, dizziness, other neurological diseases, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases , Those with a history of orthopedic diseases were evaluated from the subjects.

Participant flow

Thirty-four hemiplegic stroke survivors met the selection criteria. Of the 34 subjects, 29 (13 in the intervention group and 16 in the control group) were finally eligible for the intervention. The reason for dropping out of the study was that all five subjects had difficulty walking safely during the three-dimensional movement measurement on the first evaluation day.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Changes in TLA of the KO group at the time of Initial assessment day. The one-way ANOVA for TLA showed a significant main effect of time (F= 15.53, p<0.01). Post-hoc pairwise Bonferroni-adjusted comparisons showed a significant difference in TLA between pre vs. during (p<0.01), pre vs. post (p<0.01).

Changes in TLA of the no-KO group at the time of Initial assessment day.
The one-way ANOVA for TLA not showed a significant main effect (F= 0.17, p=0.84).

Changes in TLA between the two groups during the 3-week intervention.
Results of two-way ANOVA showed a main effect for time (F=64.5, p<0.01) and significant interaction between time and group (F=15.4, p<0.01).

Change in comfortable walking speed between the two groups
Results of two-way ANOVA showed a main effect for time (F=33.6, p<0.01).
