Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research aims to compare changes in gait quality and function between faradic current \& Ankle foot orthosis with stroke related foot drop

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomized control trial study will be carried out at different health care units when synopsis will be approved. Enrollment of patients will be done by using purposive sampling technique. The selection of the patients will be done on the basis of exclusion criteria and inclusion criteria. The patients enrolled will be divided into 2 groups. Group A patients will be given faradic current on the other hand group B patients will be provided with ankle foot orthosis. The assessment of the patient will be done after 6 months and the outcome tools used will be 10-meter walk test, stroke impact scale, 6-meter walk test, Berg balance scale, Time up and go test. The data of the patient will be noted before giving treatment and after treatment and will be compared after 6 months. Consent will be taken from each patient. Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 20 will be used for the entry and analysis of data

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Faradic current

This study will use the faradic current for treating foot drop. In Group A 15 number of patient with foot drop will get the 40 minutes of session with the frequency of 50-100hz alternative three days / week for 25 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Faradic current

Intervention Type OTHER

The most common Electrical stimulation applied for foot drop is faradic current. Faradic current provides the strength and improvement to volitational muscles and increase the coordination and reduce spasticity.

Ankle foot orthosis

Group B will get the treatment by Ankle foot orthosis.In group B 15 patients with foot drop will get the session alternative three days/week for 25 weeks. All participants have to use Ankle foot orthosis on a daily basis and patients have to walk for 10 minutes without walking aid.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ankle foot orthosis

Intervention Type OTHER

AFO is most commonly used technique but it also has some disadvantage mainly is the movement in limited direction and also in development of contractures and may have the problem in standing from chair
