발의 위치가 편마버 환자의 의자에서열어서기에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The patients with henùplegia show different body weight distribution as compared tononnal subjects. These patients load their body weight more on sound leg than affected leg. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of foot placement under the three conditions: forward, intermediate, and backward placement, on body weight 、distribution and time needed to rise while assuming sit-to-stand. Fourteen patients with hemiplegia participated in the study. Their body weight distributions during sit-to-stand under thethree different conditions were measured by a limb loader and time needed to rise was measured by a stopwatch. The data were analysed by the repeated measure of one-wayANOVA. Statistical Analysis demonstrated that body weight distribution was less asymmetric in backward foot placement. The difference of body weight bearing rate between sound leg and affected leg was significantly decreased as foot placement movedfrom forward to backward. These results show that backward foot placement duringsit-to-stand rnake patient with henùplegia distribute their body weight more evenly on thelower extremity.
