Brief Summary

This study focuses on a two-pronged strategy to enhance the rehabilitation of stroke patients. It first investigates the application of pose estimating technologies to objectively measure posture.

Detailed Description

This can entail capturing a patient's body position with cameras or other sensors in order to detect any imbalances or variations from normal posture brought on by the stroke. The study also looks at how well dynamic core postural chain stabilization (DCS) methods work for stroke recovery. The goal of DCS exercises is to increase stability and strength in the core, which can help with general postural control. This research aims to optimize stroke patient rehabilitation by combining a precise evaluation approach with a focused intervention strategy, which may result in improved balance, movement, and functional abilities.

Study Groups

Group A

Group Type: OTHER

Group A

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group A was treated with Ibuprofen Dosage After breakfast and after dinner for 6 weeks.

Group B

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Group B

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

Group B was treated with physical therapy; (Upper limb: The stroke patient warmed up with some gentle stretches for the wrist and fingers to get the muscles ready. They subsequently engaged in resistance training using dumbbells or resistance bands to increase the strength of their upper limbs. Bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses were some of these exercises. They tried to complete two to three sets of ten to fifteen repetitions for each exercise, progressively increasing the resistance as their strength increased. Then, to improve dexterity and coordination in daily tasks, functional exercises were included.
