<p><strong>Objective </strong>To study the effect of two trunk control trainings on motor function recovery of stroke patients in sequela period.  <strong>Methods </strong> A total of 42 patients were randomly divided into control group (N = 21) and observation group (N = 21). The control group was treated by traditional trunk control training, and the observation group was treated by trunk control training using suspension technology. Both groups all received other conventional rehabilitation treatment. All patients received Trunk Control Test (TCT), Functional Ambulation Category Scale (FAC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and 10 m Maximum Walking Speed (10 m MWS) before and 20 d after treatment.  <strong>Results </strong> After two courses of treatment, the scores of TCT (<em>P</em> = 0.000), FAC (<em>P </em>= 0.000), BBS (<em>P</em> = 0.000) and 10 m MWS (<em>P</em> = 0.000) were significantly improved in both groups. The scores of TCT (<em>P</em> = 0.000), FAC (<em>P</em> = 0.002), BBS (<em>P</em> = 0.000) and 10 m MWS (<em>P</em> = 0.000) after treatment in observation group were all significantly higher than those in control group.  <strong>Conclusions </strong>The method of trunk control training under suspension can effectively improve the motor function of stroke patients in sequela period.</p><p> </p><strong>DOI: </strong>10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2017.04.006
