Dynamic Muscle Power Training With Elastic Bands Improve Lower Extremity Function and Balance in Older Chronic Stroke Survivors?

The present study aims to accomplish 2 primary objectives: (1) to confirm the presence of physical function impairment among older individuals who are survivors of chronic stroke and (2) to investigate the effects of a 12-week regimen of dynamic muscle power training (DMPT) utilizing elastic bands on the physical function of lower limbs (PFLL) and dynamic balance (DB) within this population. The research sample encompassed 2 distinct groups: healthy older adults (HOAG; n = 13) and older chronic stroke survivors (OCSSG; n = 8). An evident divergence in physical function was discernible between the HOAG and OCSSG at the baseline. Furthermore, notable enhancements in both DB and PFLL were evident upon the comparison of baseline measurements with post-intervention results within the OCSSG.
