As the reason for a post-stroke patients difficulty in walking, the imbalance in the actions of his trunk muscles was found based on motion analysis in the first therapeutic evaluation. Furthermore, the problems were confirmed by electromyography (EMG). Physical therapy was started and the course was followed by the first therapeutic evaluation and EMG. The therapy focused on normal action in sitting and standing in accordance with the function of attitude control and walk control of the central nervous system. The 60 minute exercise program was performed once a week for 15 weeks. As a result, the trunk muscles had actions equivalent to those of a person who is not physically handicapped, and difficulty in walking was reduced. The results suggested that physical therapy based on motion analysis is effective even in post-stroke patients.
