Phase 1

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES :- 1)To study the effect of motor imagery on lower extremity function in stroke individuals by fugl meyer assessment.

2)To study the effect of motor imagery on gait in stroke individuals by dynamic gait index.

3)To study the effect of action observation training on lower extremity function in stroke individuals by fugl meyer assessment.

4)To study the effect of action observation training on gait in stroke individuals by dynamic gait index.

5)To compare the effects of motor imagery and action observation training on lower limb extremity functions in stroke individuals.

6)To compare the effects of motor imagery and action observation training on gait in stroke individuals.

METHOD

STUDY DESIGN – A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Group A: - Motor imagery along with conventional physiotherapy treatment.

Group B: - Action observation training along with conventional physiotherapy. Both the groups will receive the training for 4 weeks.

The conventional physiotherapy included will be mat activities , stretching , strengthening exercises and gait training.

Baseline and post treatment measures of fugl meyer assessment and dynamic gait index will be evaluated.
