Popis:	Background EMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation (EMG-triggered FES) is one of the effective method for improving task performance and providing movement re-learning of central nervous system. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a traditional manual therapy that is used as a method to regain normal movement by providing specific training methods. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of EMG-triggered FES during trunk pattern in PNF on trunk control, balance, and gait of stroke patients. Methods Forty participants were randomly allocated to EMG-triggered FES during PNF trunk pattern group (n = 20) and PNF trunk pattern group (n = 20). This study was a pretest-posttest with a control group design for duration of 4weeks (30 min/5 times/1 week). Outcome measures involved trunk impairment scale (TIS), Berg balance scale (BBS), and dynamic gait index (DGI). Results In the experimental group and control group, TIS, BBS, and DGI score was significantly increased after intervention. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of the experimental group and the control group according to the amount of change before and after the training. Conclusions The results of this study showed that PNF trunk pattern affected the trunk control for stroke patients, and increased trunk control ability was effective in improving balance and walking. In addition, it was found that the EMG-triggered FES applied to the PNF trunk pattern affected the trunk control.
