Lead Sponsor
Northwest Institute of Health Sciences, Pakistan
Brief Summary

Stroke is one of the major cause of lifelong disability if not treated on time, the investigator's technique knows as Compelled Body Weight Shift Technique (CBWS) was utilized and administered to chronic stroke population and results were figured out using gait parameters and Tinetti POMA scale.

Detailed Description

Total 28 sample size out of which 27 were divided into control and experimental group. Inclusion criteria was Unilateral chronic stroke with asymmetrical stance, Patients with score of 3,4 and 5 will be included according to FAS (Functional Ambulation Scale), Ability to understand and follow instructions, Both male and female, Any type of stroke, and Age 40-60. Written and informed consent was obtained from participants of study. Six weeks of exercise training was combined with compelled body weight shift technique via shoe lift of 0.6 cm thickness for experimental group and for control group training was performed without shoe lift.

GroupInterventionDescription
Experimental Group (Group A)Compelled Body Weight Shift TechniqueSubjects were randomly assigned and informed consent was obtained, the subjects were educated about treatment and on the basis of functional ambulation scale 3,4 and 5 subjects were included, along with this the subjects of age group between 40-60 having ability to understand and follow instructions were included in study. Results were obtained by using gait parameters including walk speed, cadence, step rate, stride length The tinetti POMA scale was utilized to record changes post treatment in gait , the weight bearing was recorded using Camry ZT-160 analog weight scale At the end of every week results were obtained.
Control group: (Group B)Compelled Body Weight Shift Technique without insoleSubjects were randomly assigned and informed consent was obtained, the subjects were educated about treatment and on the basis of functional ambulation scale 3,4 and 5 subjects were included, along with this the subjects of age group between 40-60 having ability to understand and follow instructions were included in study. Results were obtained by using gait parameters including walk speed, cadence, step rate, stride length The tinetti POMA scale was utilized to record changes post treatment in gait , the weight bearing was recorded using Camry ZT-160 analog weight scale At the end of every week results were obtained.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessmentupto 6 weeks

Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment The Tinetti, evaluation instrument is, an effectively managed, task-arranged test that, quantifies gait and balance activities of patients. A three-point, ordinal scale, extending from 0-2. "0" demonstrates the most elevated level of debilitation and "2" the people's freedom.

1. Total Balance Score = 16

2. Total Gait Score = 12

3. Maximum total test Score = 28 \[Time Frame: upto 6 weeks\]

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
A 10meter walk testupto 6 weeks

A 10meter walk test A ten meter distance employed, to determine functional mobility and gait speed, the ten meter walk test was performed by patient at self-selected walking pace and fast walking pace

Camry 160 Analog Weight Scaleupto 6 weeks

Camry 160 Analog Weight Scale to check the weight in kilograms
