Effects of trunk training using motor imagery on trunk control ability and balance function in patients with stroke

Table 3 Comparison of movement length, movement area, and average movement speed between the two groups before and after treatment

		Average left and right exercise speed (mm/s)	Average front-rear exercise speed (mm/s)	Motion length (mm)	Moving area (mm²)
Control group
Before treatment	50	16.24 ± 4.18	15.93 ± 4.12	571.12 ± 165.35	754.06 ± 259.16
After treatment	50	13.78 ± 3.03^a	12.08 ± 3.04^a	463.38 ± 122.54^a	629.34 ± 206.02^a
Trial group
Before treatment	50	15.75 ± 4.11	15.04 ± 4.25	571.56 ± 179.43	747.09 ± 269.89
After treatment	50	9.15 ± 3.01^ab	9.86 ± 3.15^ab	438.86 ± 118.28^ab	516.42 ± 178.56^ab

Note: Comparison within the same group before treatment, ^aP < 0.05 was observed, and compared with the control group, ^bP < 0.05 was observed
