Abstract

Aim: We know that the perception of people after an stroke is disturbed and that this give this people an extra problem to handle. We know further that when the tone is high and the selectivity is poor than the disturbances of the perception is often extreme. That give by some patients an fear that is almost not to understand.

Materials and Methods: The purpose from this study is to try an intervention to improve the perception. The hypothesis that we try to prove the perception of his body sec but also in the environment was, that in the total program of the rehabilitation we explicit give more task-specific resistance treatment for the affected leg in stand phase to get through the better working of the muscle spindles and better coordination and through that also an better perception of his body sec but also of his body in his environment.

Results: His power an coordination was clearly translate in better and faster walking in the exercise department and there were with adaptation some improvements in the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) at his home but the test of the perception of his body stay almost the same.

Conclusion: Improvements were absolute there but they were visible in the walking speed and walking with different aid. But the test that gives us an picture of the perception gave no great improvement. The passive test stay the same but when the muscle spindles were used there was an improvement and what was clear is that this cost an great amount of time over an long period and when the training stop the result were decreasing.
