Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based rehabilitation treatment method suitable for recovery and improvement of physical function in chronic stroke patients using an eccentric overload flywheel device. Participants are disabled with chronic stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebral hemorrhage) over 50 years of age, who can communicate with a Korean simple mental state test (MMSE-K) of 24 points or higher, and whose functional gait score is 3-5 points. The investigators will enroll 40 participants and randomly assign them to either the control (Con, n=20) or the exercise (Ex, n=20) group. The investigators will verify the effectiveness of the exercise program through the evaluation of changes in muscle and physical function before and after intervention in both groups.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	usual care and exercise education	Provide exercise training materials after the education of exercise and health to enable home-based exercise
OTHER	Eccentric exercise	Under the face-to-face supervisor, the eccentric exercise using a flywheel, and the self-directed home-based eccentric overload exercise using an elastic band are performed.
