  1. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRUNK CONTROL AND HAND FUNCTION IN POST STROKE PATIENTS Loreta Bačenskaitė, Vaida Aleknavičiūtė

  2. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Europe; • Aproximetaly 58% of stroke survivors experience hemiparesis, which disturb hand function; • Restriction of compensatory trunk movements lead to better hand functional outcomes; • Specific, repetitive, rhythmical exercises with feedback lead to concentration enhance and greater motor learning.

  3. 1 pic. Specific, repetitive, rhythmical exercise with trunk control (Malcolm et al., 2009)

  4. Aim of the study To evaluate the relationship between trunk control and hand function in post stroke patients.

  5. Hypothesis of the study We expected, that rhythmical specific exercises with feedback on trunk control will improve greater hand function outcomes than exercises without trunk control.

  6. Results of the study

  7. 2 pic. Common hand mobility in MAS scale

  8. 3 pic. Shoulder flexion and extension ROM #-p<0,05, difference between groups

  9. 4 pic. Shoulder horizontal abduction and adduction ROM * -p<0,05, difference before and after PT, # - p<0,05, difference between groups

  10. 5 pic. Shoulder external and internal rotation ROM

  11. 6 pic. Elbow flexion and extension ROM * -p<0,05, difference before and after PT

  12. 7 pic. Wrist flexion and extension ROM * -p<0,05, difference before and after PT, # - p<0,05, difference between groups

  13. Conclusions • Exercises with and without feedback improved affected arm mobility and range of motion after 1 week physical therapy; • Exercises with feedback on trunk control improved better affected arm mobility and range of motion outcomes after 1 week physical therapy.
