PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the immediate effects of a pelvic neuromuscular joint-facilitation intervention on the walking and balance ability of patients with hemiplegia caused by cerebrovascular accidents. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: A total of 15 patients with hemiplegia caused by cerebrovascular accidents underwent a neuromuscular joint-facilitation lumbar-pattern intervention (intervention group), a bridge exercise (bridge intervention group), or a neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridge intervention (neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridge group). Each intervention was randomly administered at 7-day intervals. Measurement items included the Timed Up-and-Go Test, functional reach test, 10-m maximum walking speed test, and load in the standing position. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention in each group. RESULTS: The Timed Up-and-Go Test result was significantly shorter in the neuromuscular joint-facilitation intervention group. Timed Up-and-Go Test results, functional reach, 10-m walking time, and standing load (non-paralyzed side) significantly improved in the neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridge group. CONCLUSION: The neuromuscular joint-facilitation bridge intervention was immediately effective in patients with hemiplegia caused by cerebrovascular accidents and improved their walking and balance ability.
