The Influence of Eight-section Brocade Exercise Combined with Prokin Balance Training Device on Balance Function and Walking Ability of Elderly Stroke Hemiplegic Patients.

The experimental group showed significant improvement in Fugl-Meyer balance scale (FM-B) scores compared to the control group after 8 weeks of treatment.

• 60 stroke patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases)
• The experimental group received Eight-section Brocade exercise combined with Prokin balance training device in addition to conventional rehabilitation training
• The control group received conventional rehabilitation training only
• Differences in improvement values were statistically significant (P < 0.05)
• Treatment duration was 8 weeks

The experimental group showed significant improvement in Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores compared to the control group after 8 weeks of treatment.

• BBS scores were evaluated before and after 8 weeks of treatment
• Improvement values in the experimental group were statistically significantly greater than the control group (P < 0.05)
• Both groups consisted of elderly stroke hemiplegic patients who met inclusion criteria
• The experimental group received combination therapy on top of conventional rehabilitation

The experimental group showed significant improvement in functional ambulation category scale (FAC) scores compared to the control group after 8 weeks of treatment.

• FAC scores were measured before and after the 8-week intervention period
• Differences in improvement values between groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05)
• The FAC scale was used to assess walking ability in elderly stroke hemiplegic patients
• The combination intervention had a significant promoting effect on improving patients' walking ability

The experimental group showed significant improvement in average trace error (ATE) index compared to the control group after 8 weeks of treatment.

• ATE is an index measured by the Prokin balance training device, reflecting proprioceptive ability
• Differences in ATE improvement values between groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05)
• The combination intervention had a significant promoting effect on improving patients' proprioceptive ability
• ATE was evaluated before and after the 8-week treatment period

Sixty stroke hemiplegic patients were enrolled and randomized into two equal groups to evaluate the effects of combined Eight-section Brocade exercise and Prokin balance training device intervention.

• Patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases)
• Patients were elderly stroke hemiplegic patients who met specified inclusion criteria
• The study was conducted in the context of increasing stroke incidence and consequent disability rates in China
• Outcome measures included FM-B, BBS, FAC, and ATE, evaluated before and after 8 weeks of treatment
