Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of sensory feedback training for improving on postural balance after the stroke. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The subjects were 10 stroke patients, who has problem with hemiplegia. The patients were divided into two groups: The Sensory feedback Group (SG) and Conservative Group (CG). Sensory feedback for improving on postural balance was carried out twenty times, five times a week for four-weeks, together with 30 minutes preservative treatment. Also in CG, only the preservative treatment was carried out. To compare the groups, we used several assessment tools; MTD without vision, MTD with vision for the static postural balance and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS). Findings: In SG, sensory feedback was significantly improved MTD1, MTD2 and PASS (p<.05). Also, there was significantly differences in MTD1 and MTD2 between both groups (p<.05). Improvements/Applications: The sensory feedback is influenced for improving of the ability of postural balance. Therefore, we consider that the sensory feedback would contribute for improving of recovery of postural control to be based on functional activities in rehabilitation.Keywords

Stroke patients often decreased upper extremity function that occurred pain and edema. We researched the effects of resting hand splints on hand pain and on edema in patients with stroke in the acute stage. Participants were randomly allocated to the experiment group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). All participants were treated with general rehabilitation treatment for 30 mins / daily, five days / week, for 12 weeks. In addition, participants in the experiment group wore resting hand splints. The data collected for the study were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. The statistical significance level was set at α=.05. According to the intervention, the changes in the experimental group proved significant differences. By contrast, significant differences were not seen in the control group. In comparing the changes between the groups, significant differences were found in the experiment group in Visual Analogue Scale and in volume of hand, but not in Modified Ashworth Scale. This study researched the effects of resting hand splints on pain and edema in hands of patients in the acute stage of stroke. Significant decreases were found in hand pain and edema in experiment group. Therefore, resting hand splint will in turn contribute to improved upper limb function in stroke patients.Keywords
