Abstract

Hemiparesis is a syndrome of brain damage leading to motor weakness of one half of the body accompanied by changes in sensibility , as well as speech and psychological and other changes in the patient. Medical gymnastics-kinesiotherapy (KTH) enhances sensory and motor recovery of the patient . The study was conducted on 148 patients (88 men and 60 women) aged 45-87 years who have been at the rehabilitation treatment in ZZFMR ,,Dr. M. Zotović' in Banja Luka. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of KTH in improving walking function in patients with hemiparesis. Measurements of functional ability Motoricity Index, and Test UP & Go were performed in all patients on admission and at the end kinesiotherapeutic treatment, which lasted an average of 4 weeks. We followed the effect of kth program and questioned the degree of recovery of patients with hemiparesis in relation to sex and age. For statistical analyzes, we used the median test and the Wilcoxon rank test. The research results have identified a statistically significant increase in recent side - the motor index at discharge in relation to the receipt of all observed parameters. Test UP & GO showed a statistically significant increase in the release of results in relation to the admission of patients except for patients females and older than 75 years.
