Effect of Short Foot Exercise on Quiet Stance for the Patients with Stroke

Abstract

Purpose Short foot exercise is a well-known treatment for foot intrinsic muscles. In this study, we investigated whether the addition of short foot exercise could enhance the effects of conventional physical therapy on quiet standing following a stroke. Methods Conventional therapeutic exercise group (N=17) was received conventional therapeutic exercise with physical therapists to increase the strength of affected lower limb for 6-weeks, 90 minutes/day, 5-day/week. Short foot exercise with conventional therapeutic exercise group (N=17) received conventional therapeutic exercise and short foot exercise with same intensity. The surface elapsed area was assessed by BioRescue (RM Ingenierie, France). Results There were no significant differences between conventional therapeutic exercise group and short foot exercise with conventional therapeutic exercise group in the surface elapsed area (p>0.05). Conclusion Short Foot Exercise combined with conventional therapeutic exercise program appeared to show no benefit on quiet stance.
