[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise using a rehabilitational sliding machine and conventional neurological physical therapy on the balance of stroke patients. [Subjects] Forty patients with hemiplegia resulting from stroke were divided into a rehabilitational sliding machine exercise group (ST group, n=20) and a conventional neurological physiotherapy group (C group, n=20). [Methods] The STG underwent training with a rehabilitation sliding machine for 30 minutes per day, five times per week for eight weeks. The CG underwent training with a conventional neurological physiotherapy for 30 minutes per day, five times per week for eight weeks. [Results] The balance ability of both groups significantly improved. Although there were significant differences between the groups, the CG showed weight bearing on the affected side, an anterior range within the stability limits standing, and a posterior range within the stability limits standing. [Conclusion] The results of this study suggest that conventional neurological physiotherapy is a more dedicated, effective intervention than rehabilitational sliding training methods.

[Purpose] The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of exercise using rehabilitational sliding machine training and ergometer bicycle training on the balance and gait of patients with stroke. [Subjects] Forty patients with hemiplegia resulting from stroke were divided into a sliding training group (STG, n=20) and ergometer bicycle training group (ETG, n=20). [Methods] STG and ETG respectively performed rehabilitational sliding training and cycle ergometer training in 30 minute sessions, five times a week, for a total of eight weeks. [Results] The balance and gait ability of both groups significantly improved. Both groups showed improvements in balance and gait ability, and the ETG showed anterior and posterior ranges of the limit of stability following standing. [Conclusion] Training on a rehabilitational sliding machine and an ergometer is effective at increasing a patient's balance and gait ability during nontreatment time in their daily time without therapist.
