Brief Summary

Core stability and otago exercise program has been proved to be effective in many conditions like muscles strenghing, gait improvement and relieving of pain. Hence the aim of present study is to compare the effectivness of Core stability and Otago exercise on balance and quality of life in patients with stroke.

Detailed Description

The Otago Exercise Program (OEP), consist of resistance training and balance training exercises. The OEP is composed of three domains, namely muscle strengthening, balance training with a progression by increasing ankle cuff weights and number of sets, in association with a walking plan. It is a program that incorporates moderate intensity strength exercises focusing on the lower limbs and balance to be performed for about 30 min at least three times a weekStrength training consisted of flexion and extension exercises of the knee, ankle, and toe joints, as well as hip opening exercises to strengthen the sides of the pelvis. Balance training consisted of walking backwards, walking in a figure of eight, heel-toe walking, standing on one leg, walking on the heels, walking on the toes, heel-toe walking backwards, standing up from a sitting position, and walking up stairs.exercises and physical activities could promote balance, flexibility, muscular strength, and walking ability among elderly people.OEP three times a week, for 6 months, can improve dynamic balance.core stability exercises for five weeks in addition to conventional physiotherapy five days a week for the same period, improved dynamic sitting balance, standing balance, gait and activities of daily living at the post intervention assessment in subacute post-stroke survivors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Berg balance scale8 week

The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional independence measure8 week

Functional independence measure scale is used to measures of independence for self-care.

Functional independence measure scale assess six area of function including sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition. Each item is scored on a 7 point ordinal scale, ranging from a score of 1 to a score of 7. The higher the score, the more independent the patient is in performing the task associated with that item.

Stroke specific quality of life questionnaire8 week

Specific Quality Of Life scale is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life specific to patients with stroke.
