Effects Of Perturbation Based Balance Training in Reactive Balance Control Among Chronic Stroke Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Stroke

• Registration Number: NCT04820777
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

Chronic stroke patients often have impaired balance on reactive balance control. Task specific exercises are important part of the fall intervention in daily activities of life should be incorporated during the rehabilitative services Objective: Effects of perturbation based balance training in reactive balance control in chronic stroke patients.

Detailed Description

RCT (Randomized Control Trail) study was conducted. Stroke patients who have impaired balance and reactive control were determined on inclusion \& exclusion criteria. Stroke patients with impaired balance control were arbitrarily allocated into two groups with one control and one interventional group ages ranged from 45 to 50 years. The sample size was 20 patients. Group 1 (control group) received tradional balance training and Group 2 (interventional group) received perturbation based training for balance control. The interval of treatment was 6 weeks. Data is collected from Azra Naheed Medical college (Ch Muhammad Akram teaching \& research hospital) Lahore and Physiotherapy department of Social security hospital manga mandi Lahore. Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment (POMA),Time up and go (TUG) and Activity specific balance confidence (ABC) was used to evaluate the pre and post values of balance control.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment	2 months	POMA for gait and balance for stroke patients
Time up and go (TUG)	2 months	screening test that is a sensitive and specific measure of probability for falls among older adults\[
Activity specific balance confidence (ABC)	2 months	the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) is a structured questionnaire that measures an individual's confidence in performing activities without losing balance
