Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not retro-walking is effective in improving hemiplegic gait symptoms in persons who have suffered a stroke. Both the experimental group and the control group consisted of 38 patients who were medically stable and had experienced their first MCA stroke. This study is considered to be quasi-experimental. During the course of six weeks, the experimental group participated in conventional therapy that was augmented with reverse walking training. On the other hand, the control group was exclusively exposed to the usual physiotherapeutic intervention. The 10 meter walk test and the functional reach test were used to administer a pre-test and a post-test. The pre-test was administered before the functional reach test was performed. A supplemental retro-walking training program was found to be effective in improving hemiplegic gait, according to the scientific investigation.
In conclusion, the study's outcomes indicate that individuals who have suffered a stroke and have been treated with reverse walking have demonstrated significant improvements in both their functional balance and their gait velocity.
