This study examined the differences in the improvement of walking ability between treadmill training with fast-tempo auditory stimulation (FTAS group) and the general treadmill training (control group) in hemiplegia. The subjects were allocated randomly into both groups. Eleven patients of the FTAS group and 11 patients of the control group underwent training for 30 minutes per day for 6 weeks. Before and after intervention, the walking ability was measured by the 10m gait-evaluation and the number of steps in 20m walking. The gait velocity was improved further in the FTAS group than the control group (p<.05). This study provides evidence of the efficacy of treadmill training with FTAS in improving the gait ability when compared to the general methods in patients with chronic hemiplegia.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of community ambulation training and treadmill training on the gait ability and stroke impact scale in patients with hemiplegia due to stroke. Twenty-two patients with hemiplegia due to stroke were assigned to the community ambulation training group(n=11) or treadmill training group(n=11). Both groups were executed conventional treatment for 5 times per week for 6 weeks 30 minutes per session. Each group performed additional exercise for 30 minutes. Post treatment, compared to the treadmill training group, community ambulation training group showed significantly increased velocity, cadence, stroke impact scale(p<.05). These results support the perceived benefits of community ambulation training to augment on the gait ability and stroke impact scale of stroke patients. Therefore, community ambulation training is feasible and suitable for stroke patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the convergence effectiveness of treadmill training in patients with chronic stroke through a meta-analysis. After searching the literature based on the patients, intervention, comparison, outcome criteria, and study desigan, a total of 22 studies related to "stroke" and "treadmill" were eligible for inclusion. Effect size was calculated using the comprehensive meta-analysis program for the meta-analysis. Based on the forest plot results, the overall effect size of treadmill training was 0.661 (95% confidence interval: 0.456-0.865), which was statistically significant with a medium effect size (p < 0.05). The effects of treadmill training on patients with stroke were separated by dependent variables of interest-plantar pressure (1.147), lower limb muscle function (0.875), and balance (0.664). The effect sizes were evaluated for the subdomains of timed up and go test (0.553), Berg Balance Scale (0.760), and static balance index (0.654) for balance. Therefore, treadmill training can be expected to have a positive impact on improving the quality of life of patients with chronic stroke. This meta-analysis of treadmill training may the lead to an industry paradigm shift toward healthcare convergence of information, communication, and medical technology.

The purpose of this study was to apply treadmill training through motor learning to cerebral palsy children and examine its effects on their motor Functions and balance. The subjects of this study were 16 spastic diplegia children who had difficulty in independent gait, and GMFCS level III, IV. The participant's were allocated randomy to 2 groups: a motor learning group(n=8) and the control group(n=8), Both groups received muscle strengthening exercise for 3 session, 30 minutes per week over 7 weeks period. Data collected from the 16 spastic diplegia children the results were as follows. The motor learning group showed significant increase in motor function(p<.05). The motor learning group showed significant increase in balance(p<.05). Between motor learning group and control group, motor functions and balance was a statistically significant difference(p<.05).

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the convergence pulmonary function of the 20s men of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity to tredmill exercise. Ten subjects of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity(experimentals) and ten contrary subjects(controls) were participated in the experiment. experimental group conducted treadmill gait training and control group conducted automed exercise. Subjects were assessed for their respiratory function by using Fit mate. The result of the experiments showed high pulmonary function than the controls. Thus, it suggests that the respiratory functional data of 20s men of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity can be used as a various respiratory one for the exercise programs in the area.

The purpose of this study was to improve the gait ability and quality of life of stroke patients by combining virtual reality technology and a visual feedback gait training program with entertainment elements. Ten stroke patients with circumduction gait were selected. The visual feedback treadmill gait training program using virtual reality technology and a force plate measurement system was conducted 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with 25 sessions in 5 weeks. To investigate the effects of this gait training program, evaluations using the joint range-of-motion test, muscle activity tests, Berg balance scale (BBS), gait analysis, and stroke-specific quality-of-life scale (SS-QOL) were performed before and after intervention. Statistically significant differences were found in the joint range of motion and muscle activity of the affected side from the initial swing phase to the mid-swing phase of the gait cycle, dynamic balance, gait function, and quality of life (p <0.05). The results of this study indicate that the gait training program improved the foot drop, muscle activity, dynamic balance, and gait ability of stroke patients with circumduction gait, thereby improving the quality of life of the patients. Therefore, we recommend the application of the visual feedback treadmill gait training program using virtual reality technology and a force plate measurement system to improve gait ability and quality of life of stroke patients with circumduction gait.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a task-related circuit training in improving the function of lower extremity and quality of life in patient with hemiplegia. A total 25 paients with hemiplegia selected, the volunteers were randomly divided into a task-related circuit training group of 13 people and a treadmill training group of 12 people. The two groups received treadmill training for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The experimental group was additionally received the task related circuit training for 30 minutes. The assessment comprised of testing the patient's strength, walking, balance ability(strength of knee, balance ability, 10m walking test) and making use of the stroke impact scale. Post treatment, compared to the treadmill training group, task-related circuit training group showed significantly increased strength of knee extensor, flexor and balance ability, stoke impact scale(p<.05). The findings of this study suggest that a task-related circuit training can improve function of lower extremity and quality of life in patient of hemiplegia. Further studies with a greater sample size and a various intervention are needed to generalize the findings of the present study.
