The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of eccentric exercise and concentric exercise on postural sway in hemiparetic patients. 36 hemiparetic patients that over 20 years of age, with a history of at least 6 months of suffering from hemiparesis are randomly and not blind divided into two groups.
The treatment program included an eight-week (3 time per week) eccentric exercises on a treadmill for one group and an eight-week concentric exercises for the other group in the study. The eccentric exercises are carry out by running on a treadmill at 4° negative slope (downhill). The concentric exercises, however, are conduct by running at 4 degree slope (uphill) on the treadmill. The treatment exercises do with a comfortable treadmill speed for 15 minutes (plus 5 minutes warm-up and 5 minutes cool-down period) for each participant. Displacement and velocity of displacement, Before and after of intervention, in Anteroposterior and Mediolateral directions in both groups of hemiparetic patients are measure and compare.
