Study summary

Sixty-six stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (conventional, with the addition of the Erigo®Pro table, and enriched with motor imagery). The Trunk Stability Test, walking speed, step symmetry, and lower limb load symmetry on the Riablo device, as well as the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, were assessed before and after completing therapy.

Read the detailed description

Sixty-six stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (conventional, with the addition of the Erigo®Pro table, and enriched with motor imagery). The Trunk Stability Test, walking speed, step symmetry, and lower limb load symmetry on the Riablo device, as well as the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, were assessed before and after completing therapy.

Results: In each of the groups studied, the therapies used significantly improved the functional assessment of trunk stability (Trunk Control Test \<0.001)). Additionally, after the intervention, the Erigo group showed a greater gait speed (p=0.003), while the Visualization group exhibited a higher level of tension in the multifidus (p=0.011) and transverse abdominal muscles (p=0.002).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Conventional rehabilitation

    In conventional rehabilitation, patients performed daily physiotherapy, which included intensive preparatory training for standing and sitting positions, strengthening exercises, weight-bearing exercises, and balance and coordination exercises (from 40 to 60 minutes of therapy). Interventions: Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery

    Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait. · Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait parameters.

  • Experimental
    Erigo®Pro

    Interventions: Effective therapy included 1 session on a tilting table at an angle of 42° for 20 minutes, 5 times a week (Monday to Friday) at a speed of 32 steps per minute, followed by a physiotherapy session for two weeks. Interventions: Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery

    Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait. · Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait parameters.

  • Experimental
    motor imagery (MI)

    in addition to conventional physiotherapy, activity imagery during passive walking on the Erigo®Pro table was introduced. During the exercises on the table, the patients wore headphones that blocked out any external sounds, closed their eyes and their task was to imagine the sensation of their body moving (first-person imagination), differentiating the idea of walking in various real environments (park, forest, beach, snow, streets). in the city, walking at different speeds, going up and down stairs, running, etc.). Interventions: Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery

    Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait. · Procedure: Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait parameters.

Interventions

  • ProcedureConventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait.

    66 stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (22 people each) with different therapies (conventional, with the addition of Erigo®Pro and enriched with motor imagery). The therapy duration was two weeks. Patients underwent assessment before and after completion of therapy. The study used the Trunk Stability Test, and the Riablo device to measure gate parameters. Additionally, an evaluation of the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles was conducted.
