The effect of progressive task-oriented training on a supplementary tilt table on lower extremity muscle strength and gait recovery in patients with hemiplegic stroke

Several studies have confirmed that lack of movement leads quickly to profound negative biomechanical and physiological changes in all systems and organs of the body [1,2]. As these patients suffering from diseases such as post-stroke and traumatic brain injury are bedridden, the instability of circulatory system occurs at an early stage of rehabilitation and leads to the appearance of atrophy and weakness in the affected leg [3]. So these musculoskeletal instabilities also lead to delayed functional training of these patients [1], it is important for these patients to be progressively mobilized and to undergo weight-supported load training at an early state of rehabilitation [4].
