Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine the combined effects of sensory integration and vestibular exercise on dizziness, fall risk and quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Mansoorah Teaching Hospital in 7 months after the approval of the synopsis. 38 participants with stroke will be included as per the sample size calculation through the convenience sampling technique. Participants who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated using an online randomization tool into two groups Group A will receive Combine Sensory integration exercise and vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes and Group B will receive Vestibular exercise with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes. Each group will receive a treatment session of 3 times in week for 6 weeks. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 24.
