Brief summary (registry, in English)
The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate whether intelligent visual feedback-based lower limb motor control training is more effective than conventional rehabilitation training in promoting walking ability recovery among stroke patients with hemiplegia. The trial aims to address the primary question of the impact of intelligent visual feedback motor control training on the walking function of stroke patients with hemiplegia, and uses three-dimensional gait analysis for precise quantitative evaluation of therapeutic effects. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) will be employed to explore patients' cerebral functional connectivity and cortical activation, and to analyze the correlation between fNIRS data and walking function scores (such as those from three-dimensional gait analysis), providing effective methods and a reliable reference basis for rehabilitation training of post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group receiving intelligent visual feedback motor control training, and the control group receiving Bobath ball training, 20 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for a total of four weeks. Before and after the treatment, indicators including fNIRS brain functional imaging, three-dimensional gait analysis, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment will be evaluated.
