The effects of Bobath-based trunk exercises on trunk control, functional capacity, balance and gait: A pilot randomized controlled trial

 And just why the fuck is Bobath still being researched? Haven't we numerous times proven Bobath doesn't work better? Wasting more time and money.

Abstract: Study investigate the effects of Bobath-based individually designed trunk exercises on trunk control, upper- and lower-extremity function, and walking and balance in stroke patients. Trunk function, functional capacity, and gait were assessed with the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM), and a 10-meter walking test, respectively. The Berg Balance Test (BBT), functional reach (FR), and Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) tests were used to evaluate balance. After the initial assessment, 22 patients were divided randomly into two groups, the study group (12 patients) and the control group (10 patients). Individual training programs were determined for the patients in the study group, taking into consideration their evaluation results; and strengthening, stretching, range of motion, and mat exercises were determined for the control group according to their functional level. The main aim of treatment was to eliminate individual trunk impairments during various patient functions. Participants in both groups engaged in the physiotherapy program for 12 weeks, 3 days a week for 1 hour a day. In group analyses, both groups showed improvement in STREAM, TIS, and TUG tests. Only the study group produced significant gains in the BBT, FR, and 10-meter walking tests. According to the pre- and post-treatment results, no significant difference was observed in any of the evaluated parameters between the two groups. The findings demonstrate that Bobath-based trunk exercises improve trunk function and have a positive impact on balance and walking activities.
