Effect of treadmill training based real-world video recording on balance and gait in chronic stroke patients: A randomized controlled trial

Highlights: Abstract: Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of treadmill training based real-world video recording (TRWVR) for balance and gait ability in chronic stroke patients.Design: Thirty chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to either the TRWVR group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). Both groups participated in a standard rehabilitation program; in addition, the TRWVR group participated in TRWVR for 30min per day, three times per week, for 6 weeks, and the control group participated in treadmill walking training for 30min per day, three times per week, for 6 weeks. Balance ability was measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the postural sway by force platform system. Gait performance was measured using a pressure sensitive walkway.Results: Significant differences in the time factor for dynamic balance and gait (P
