Effect of Wobble Board Therapeutic Exergaming Vs Standard Wobble Board Training on Balance, Limits of Stability and Functional Mobility in Stroke Patients-An Experimental Study.

Stroke often leads to impaired balance, reduced limits of stability and decreased functional mobility, increasing fall risk and dependency in daily activities. Conventional balance training methods, though beneficial, may lack engagement and real-time feedback. Exergaming integrates physical activity with interactive gaming, providing visual biofeedback to enhance motivation, postural control, and motor learning.

This experimental study aims to compare the short-term effects of wobble board therapeutic exergaming versus standard wobble board training on balance, limits of stability, and functional mobility in stroke patients. Thirty-six participants aged 18–59 years with unilateral stroke will be randomly allocated into two groups. The experimental group will receive wobble board therapeutic exergaming with standard physiotherapy, while the control group will undergo standard wobble board balance training with the same physiotherapy regimen. Both interventions will be delivered 5 sessions per week for 2 weeks.

Outcome measures include the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Multidirectional Reach Test (MDRT), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, assessed pre- and post-intervention. The study aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of exergaming-based wobble board training as an engaging and effective approach to improve balance and functional mobility in stroke rehabilitation.
