Comparison of Effects of Activity Base Therapy vs Strength Training on Gait Performance in Chronic Stroke

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Stroke

• Registration Number: NCT04823546
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide affecting both male and female especially in older people. Functional independence and locomotion are hampered in stroke, therefore, affecting their quality of life. Objective: To find the comparative effects of activity base therapy vs strength training on gait performance in chronic stroke patients.

Detailed Description

It was a randomized controlled trial, conducted in physical therapy department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. 20 chronic stroke patients were equally divided into two groups. In group-A patients were treated with activity base therapy and in group-B patients were treated with strength training. Patients were treated for a total of 6 weeks (12 sessions), 1 hour in a day, 3 times per week. Patients were assessed using Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Fugl Meyer Examination-Lower Extremity (FME-LE). SPSS 25 was used toanalyze the dat

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fugl meyer for lower limb	2 months	The fugal-meyer assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning in patient with post stroke hemiplegia.
Time Up and Go Test (TUG)	2 months	Simple screening test that is a sensitive and specific measure of probability for falls among older adultsThe Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance.; It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees.
