简要总结
This study aims to determine the effects of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on falls and balance as well as overall physical performance. Participants will be divided into two groups; control and intervention group. It is a week-long study, the participants will be assessed through the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Time Up and Go (TUG) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).
详细描述
The previous literature suggested that the Otago exercise showed significant improvement in terms of fall and balance. Most of the Studies were conducted on the elderly population but limited studies are available regarding stroke. This study will look at the effect of Otago exercise on stroke patients. The Otago exercise consists of 17 exercises; strengthening and balancing exercises. The participants will receive Otago exercise and routine physiotherapy treatment for six weeks. The participants will go through three assessments; Baseline Assessment, After 3 weeks assessment and final assessment. For association, a mixed method ANOVA test will be used.

研究组 & 干预措施
Interventional Group
The interventional group will receive both treatment routine physiotherapy and the Otago exercise program (OEP). The OEP is the exercise designed for strength and balance to improve mobility, functional balance and walking. The exercises included in this protocol are 17: strength, balance and walking. The participants will receive this protocol with 10 repetitions while the interval between exercises will not be fixed; patients will be given ample time to relax and recuperate before beginning another exercise, 3 times a week for six weeks and the time duration will be 30 to 45 minutes. The exercises will be progressively administered weekly.

干预措施: Control Group (Other)
Control group
The control group will receive routine treatment of physiotherapy for strokes like strengthening of upper and lower limb muscles (knee flexor, hip adductor and ankle dorsiflexor), stretching (hip abductors and ankle plantar flexor), postural awareness, gait and balance training like static and dynamic. The participants will be assessed through baseline assessment.

结局指标
主要结局
Fugl-Meyer Assessment
时间窗: After 6 weeks
Motor impairment is the most common complication of stroke; it was measured by FMA quantitatively. The scale is divided into 5 domains; sensory \& motor function, balance, joint range of motion and joint pain. Each domain has a scale of 0 to 2 score while the total scoring of the scale is 226 score.
Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: After 6 weeks
The BBS was used to assess the quantitative measure of balance and fall risk among the older population through direct observation of their performance. The 14 items scale of total scoring 56 and each item has a scaling of 0 to 4. The scoring up to 0 to 20 represents impaired balance, 21 to 40 indicate acceptable while \>40 represent good balance.
Time Up & Go Test
时间窗: After 6 weeks
The TUG test was used to assess the functional mobility of the participants. The gait and balance maneuvers used in daily life are attributed to functional mobility. The participants were required to stand up, walk away through 3 meters or 10 feet and turn back to sit in the chair at starting. The individuals who cover the distance in \>20 seconds are considered as dependent in their activities while those who complete the task in \<20 sec indicate independence in ADLs.
