To observe the therapeutic effect of Bobath technique combined with suspension weight loss training on balance function and trunk control ability in stroke patients. 61 patients clinically diagnosed with stroke were divided into an observation group and a treatment group. The observation group used Bobath technique, while the treatment group received combined suspension weight loss training on the basis of the observation group. Compared with the observation group, the treatment group had higher Berg and Sheikh scores (P<0.05). The implementation of suspension weight loss training combined with Bobath therapy for stroke patients can improve their balance function and trunk control ability, improve prognosis, and has promotional value in clinical practice. Bobath technique combined with suspension weight loss training can Improving balance and control abilities in stroke patients.
