Abstract
Introduction: The authors present the influence of two physiotherapy programmes on the re-education of motor behaviour in patients after ischemic stroke. One of them is a programme based on exercises combining PNF and NTD Bobath elements, while the other is a deep trunk muscle exercises with the use of the PUM armchair.<br/><br/>Material and methods: The study material was a group of 60 patients of both sexes who suffered ischemic stroke resulting in hemiparesis. They were divided into two groups. Group I consisted of 18 women (60%) and 12 men (40%) who followed the author’s programme of deep muscle activation exercises using the PUM armchair. Group II consisting of 15 women (50%) and 15 men (50%) followed the exercise programme using standard methods, i.e. based on PNF and Bobath methods.<br/><br/>Results: They indicate the effectiveness of both methods, with the predominance of the author’s programme.<br/><br/>Conclusion: The improvement of deep muscle activity in the examined group of patients has positive influence on their muscle tone, balance and postural control, which in turn, reduces muscle tension, improves gait stereotype and load characteristics of lower limbs.<br/><br/>ischemic stroke, postural control, deep muscles<br/><br/>Article received: 30.01.2018; Accepted: 30.03.2018<br/><br/>
