Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of visual tracking training on walking function and daily life ability of stroke patients. Methods Sixty stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into observation group and control group by random digital table method, with 30 patients in each group. The control group underwent routine rehabilitation treatment, and the observation group carried out eyeball tracking training on the basis of routine rehabilitation program, for twice a day, once in the afternoon, 30 minutes each time, 5 days a week for consecutive 6 weeks. The gait assessment scale, simple mental status assessment scale, stroke balance scale and pasteurization index were used before and after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in gait score, balance function, the scores of simple mental scale, and daily life ability assessment between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After 6 weeks of rehabilitation, the improvement of gait, balance function, and daily life ability in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05).However, after treatment, the scores of simple mental scale in the observation group were not statistically significant compared with those in the control group. Conclusion Visual tracking training can significantly improve walking function, balance ability and self-care ability of stroke patients.But whether it can improve the cognitive function of patients still needs to be further demonstrated by a large sample study.
