Kineziterapijos ir ciklinės treniruotės poveikis asmenų savarankiškumui ir mobilumui ankstyvuoju reabilitacijos periodu po galvos smegenų insulto /

That physical therapy is effective working with patients after cerebrovascular disease has for long been proved by research, but which methods works most effectively and should be widely applied are still in discussion. The research found that the traditional physical therapy is not sufficient quickly restore the balance and walk function. Scientists searching for new methods but not always the proposed methods are effective; there are some contradictory opinions in the literature. Actual problem for new methods searching how quicken balance and gait recovery and reduce rehabilitation period for patients after stroke still remains. We used combination of physical therapy program based on principles of Bobath and training with bicycle ergometer for patients in early period following stroke. This kind of cyclical training was chosen because it made a dynamic, bilateral action which has many similarities to walking, but is safer and can be performed when person is in early stage of motor recovery after the stroke. Also this method quickens compensatory mechanisms. We evaluated that complex physical therapy program based on Bobath method principles with cyclic training statistically significantly more influenced patients after brain infarction independence, balance and gait than the program based on Bobath method principles alone (p<0,05). Our research shows that patient’s after stroke independence, balance and gait was influenced by patient’s age, gender, functional status and type of physiotherapy program. After data analysis was found that patient’s balance, gait and independence tests had statistically significant correlations. We made predictive equations allow to predict results of balance and gait and correct physiotherapy program.
