Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: Frenkel's Exercise
Frenkel's exercises spanned four weeks with distinct positions:
Week 1: Recumbent position, focusing on heel sliding, knee, and hip movements. Week 2: Seated exercises, emphasizing leg elevation and standing from a chair. Week 3: Erect posture activities, including forward, sideways, and backward walking with diverse steps and turns.
Week 4: Comprehensive exercises across all positions, emphasizing varied movements.
Each exercise set included 8-10 repetitions with 1-2 minutes of rest.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Both the groups received interventions three days/week for 30-60 minutes for four weeks
Group B: Conventional Balance Exercises
Structured program with 8-10 reps and 1-2 min rest:
I. Strengthening: Targets hips, knees, and ankles-squats, lunges, leg presses. II. Weight-Shifting: Enhances balance with side-to-side, forward-backward steps.
III. Trunk Stabilization: Improves core control-planks, crunches, twists. IV. Proprioception: Balance board exercises challenge spatial awareness, performed under physiotherapist supervision.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Both the groups received interventions three days/week for 30-60 minutes for four weeks
