Effect of Aquatic Treadmill Training on Patients with Hemiplegia after Stroke by WANG Yanan, ZHANG Tong, LIU Huilin, DU Xuejing, ZHU Xiaomin, LIU Yuanmin

“…GaitWatch 3D gait analysis and sports training system was used to measure velocity, swing time asymmetry ratio and step length asymmetry ratio.Results1) Muscle thickness: compared with that before treatment, the thickness of RF and TA muscles in the control group increased significantly after treatment; the thickness of EO, IO, TrA, RF and TA muscles of the experiment group increased significantly after treatment, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). Compared with the control group, there was significant increases in thickness of EO, IO, RF and TA muscles in the experiment group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). 2) Gait velocity, swing time asymmetry ratio, step length asymmetry ratio: compared with that before treatment, gait velocity of both groups after treatment increased significantly, and step length asymmetry ratio decreased significantly, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionThe aquatic treadmill training can improve the affected side muscle thickness, gait velocity and step length asymmetry ratio of patients with hemiplegia after stroke, and is recommended for clinical application.…”
