Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to check the effects of postural and kinesthetic awareness on static standing balance in chronic stoke patients. Participants will be divided into two equal groups. One group will receive routine physical therapy while other group will receive postural and kinesthetic awareness in addition to routine physical therapy.

Detailed Description

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

To determine effects of Postural and kinesthetic awareness on plantar pressure and static standing balance in chronic stroke patients. The study was conducted at the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital in the Department of Pediatric Physical Therapy \& Neuro Rehabilitation Center. Total 62 stroke patients with visual spatial neglect were enrolled in this study, patients were equally assigned into control and experimental group. Control group received routine physical therapy while experimental group received routine physical therapy and postural and kinesthetic awareness program. Static component of berg balance scale and PoData Stabiliometeric plate was used for measurement of balance and plantar pressure respectively

Study Groups

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

Routine Physical Therapy

routine physical therapy including range of motion exercises (Active assisted), stretching exercises, strengthening and positioning. Daily session was of 1 hour, 5 times weekly for 6 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Routine Physical Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Range of motion exercises (Active assisted), stretching exercises, strengthening and positioning.

Routine Physical Therapy and Postural and Kinesthetic Awareness

routine physical therapy and additionally postural and kinesthetic Awareness in front of mirror by emphasizing proper body positioning, movements \& balance in sitting and standing position by using interoceptive and exteroceptive reinforcement (verbal, tactile \& visual).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Postural and Kinesthetic Awarness

Intervention Type OTHER

Firstly, patient performed therapeutic activities/exercise to achieve balance in sitting position using chair with arm rest and with planted feet then progressed to sitting on chair without arm rest with proper feet placement. Once the patient achieved balance in sitting on chair then shifted to sitting on the stool and later standing in parallel bar that leads to balance training in independent standing.
