Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: 1. to study the effect of balance training on balance control of Hemiplegics. 2. To study the effect of balance training on gait in Hemiplegics. Materials and Method: Thirty hemiplegics were selected and divided into two groups of 15 each. Control group received conventional training and Experimental group received conventional training along with phyaction balance training.Duration of treatment was 30 minutes, five days a week for four weeks. Pre and post training evaluation of Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Wisconsin Gait Scale (WCS), and Global Balance performance Anteroposterior (GBAP), Global Balance performance Mediolateral (GBML) was done for both the groups. Statistical analysis was done by t test. Result: Statistically significant improvement was seen in all the outcome measures in experimental group and no significant improvement was seen in case of control group which shows that balance exercise is effective in controlling balance in hemiplegics and has an improvement in gait. Conclusion: Balance exercise is effective in controlling balance of Hemiplegics. So Phyaction balance training should be incorporated in the rehabilitation of Hemiplegics.
