PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 3-dimensional exercise with visual feedback on stroke patients. SUBJECTS: Twenty-two patients with hemiplegia were randomly allocated to either a 3D exercise group (3DG) consisting of 11 members or a weight shifting exercise group (WSG), also of 11 members. METHODS: The 3DG received neurophysiological treatment and performed 3D exercise and the WSG received neurophysiological treatment and performed weight shifting exercise, 5 times a week for 6 weeks. The Berg Balance Scale and 10 m walking time were used to evaluate the patients' balance and walking abilities. RESULTS: Balance and gait abilities of patients improved in both the 3DG and the WSG. A comparison of the two groups found that the 3DG showed a greater improvement in balance ability than the WSG. CONCLUSION: 3-dimensional exercise with visual feedback is effective at improving the balance and gait of stroke patients.
