VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY in PATIENTS WITH STROKE

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Stroke
Registration Number
NCT07206485
Lead Sponsor
October 6 University
Brief Summary

PURPOSE: to investigate the effect of vibroacoustic therapy device with laser motion guidance affect balance sensory integration in patients with stroke BACKGROUND: Following stroke, motor recovery can be dictated by the degree of sensory disruption, The application of vibroacoustic therapy device with laser motion guidance could improve balance and sensory integration functions.

Detailed Description

Forty-four patients post vascular stroke, from both sexes were participated in this study. The patients were randomly divided into four equal groups; Group (I) will receive vibroacoustic therapy and a selected physical therapy program. Group (II) will receive laser motion guidance therapy and a selected physical therapy program. Group (III) will receive vibroacoustic therapy, laser motion guidance and a selected physical therapy program. Group (IV) will receive the selected physical therapy program. The evaluation methods by Biodex balance system using Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (CTSIB), Time up and go test, and The Functional Independence Measure

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Biodex balance systemfour weeks

Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (CTSIB) The Biodex Balance System provides objective, computer-based measurements for the Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (CTSIB), also known as the Sensory Organization Test (SOT), by quantifying postural sway under various sensory conditions.

Time up and go test (TUG)four weeks

The TUG is a general physical performance test used to assess mobility, balance, and locomotor performance in elderly people

Biodex balance system Overall Stability Index (OSI)four weeks

The Biodex Overall Stability Index (OSI) is a composite measure of postural stability provided by the Biodex Balance System (BBS). It quantifies how well a person can maintain balance by measuring the total deviation of the foot platform from level in both anterior-posterior (front-to-back) and medial-lateral (side-to-side) directions

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scalefour weeks

The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a standardized assessment tool used in rehabilitation to measure a patient's functional ability and level of disability across 18 items, scored on a 1-7 scale, to track progress and guide care plans The FIM assesses a total of 18 items across six categories-self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion, communication, and social cognition-each focusing on essential daily activities.
