Journal Title: Journal of Society of Indian Physiotherapists - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background Individuals with Stroke often present with somatosensory deficits Improvement in balance has been reported with exercises using surface manipulation such as on Foam surface in Stroke subjects and on textured as well as sandy surface in elderly The textured and shifting nature of sand is expected to enhance somatosensory inputs from the foot and it is also an unstable surface Hence comparison of the efficacy of balance training on foam vs sand in individuals with Stroke is proposedAim To compare the effects of balance training on foam vs sand in individuals with strokeDesign Prospective experimental study comparing 2 types of interventions in 53 adults with stroke of duration 3 monthsMethods After random allocation subjects underwent 6 weeks of balance training using task oriented exercises on either Foam 26 or Sand 27 Outcome measures used were a BESTest b instrumented mCTSIB done pretraining after 6 weeks of training at 9th weekResults Significant change in BESTest mean scores after 6 weeks of training in Foam group p th 9th week not significant p 005 indicating the carryover of training effects in both foam and sand groups On comparison between both groups no significant difference in mean change of BESTest and mCTSIB scores obtained at 6th 9th week p 005 indicating that training on sand was as effective as training on foamConclusion Balance training using taskoriented exercises on sand is as effective as on foam in individuals with Stroke The carryover effects persisted in both groups similarly for next 3 weeks Keywords Stroke Balance training Foam sand
