简要总结
Following stroke, patients loses functions of the motor, sensory and higher brain cognitive faculties to various degrees which lead to diminished balance. It has been documented that hemiplegic or hemiparetic stroke patients presented with more posture sway, asymmetric weight distribution, impaired weight-shifting ability and decreased stability capability. There are many balance exercises and strategies; to improve balance in elderly age group population, to prevent fall prevention. But we have very few evidences of giving manual perturbation balance training in stroke patients to improve speed, balance and function. Therefore this study is taken up to examine whether the manual perturbation balance training is more effective in improving speed, balance and function in stroke patients.
详细描述
There are many more studies done for elderly populations, normal individuals for improving balance by giving perturbation based balance training.All perturbation exercises are given by either mechanical or by self reaching tasks in forward,backward,and in both sideways. There are very studies ;who attempted perturbation based balance training to improve balance in elderly population but not for stroke patients for their Speed, Balance and Function.The manual perturbation exercise can be an promising intervention in the future for various conditions
