ABSTRACT:
Background/Objectives: In this study, we assessed the effects of scapula setting intervention on the ADL and gait in the stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods/Statistical analysis: Thirty subjects with stroke patients participated. Subjects were randomly divided into scapula setting intervention group (n=15) and general physical therapy group (n=15) both therapy was applied for 30mins in a day and 3times in a week for 4 weeks. The TUG and MBI was used to evaluate gait, ADL by paretic side in stroke patients. To compare the treatments, we used paired t-test and independent sample t-test. Findings The scapula setting intervention group and general physical therapy group showed statically significant differences before and after the gait. The experimental group showed a more significant difference compared with the control group when TUG. However, there was no statistically significant difference MBI. Improvements/Applications: The scapula setting intervention was helpful more than the general physical therapy to improve in the stroke patients.
