Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the combined effects of sensory integration and vestibular exercise on dizziness, fall risk and quality of life.

Detailed Description

This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Mansoorah Teaching Hospital in 7 months after the approval of the synopsis. 38 participants with stroke will be included as per the sample size calculation through the convenience sampling technique. Participants who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated using an online randomization tool into two groups Group A will receive Combine Sensory integration exercise and vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes and Group B will receive Vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes. Each group will receive a treatment session of 3 times in week for 6 weeks. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 24.

Combined Effects Of Sensory Integration And Vestibular Exercises On Post-Stroke Patients	6 weeks	DHI assesses Dizziness Consists 25 items three answers yes sometimes no. Highest disability 100 ,lowest one be 0.The SS-QOL, disease-specific consist 49 items 12 domains, social role (five questions), mobility (six questions), energy (three questions), language (five questions), self-care (five questions), mood (five questions), personality (three questions), thinking (three questions), upper extremity function (five questions), family role (three questions), vision (three questions),work/productivity (three questions). Each item ranked five-point level one means completely agreed while level five means completely disagree. Total score ranges from 49 to 245.Time up and go test Duration of ≥13.5 s associate increased fall risk with vestibular dysfunction. STRATIFY tool comprises five items risk factors past history falling, patient agitation, visual impairment, incontinence, transfer and mobility score range from 0 to 5 points and risk of falling is a score ≥ 2 points.
