Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The effectiveness of balance training and of balance training with obstacle ambulation on dynamic balance in ambulant stroke subjects. Materials and Methodology: After getting the ethical clearance for this 30 ambulant stroke patients with age group of 40 to 65 were selected for the study and screened through inclusion and exclusion criteria The patients consent for this study was taken and documented. Procedure: Group A and Group B subjects were given with Balance training and Balance training with obstacle ambulation respectively. The dosimetry of these exercises was 60–70 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Data collected for statistical analysis included the patients were assessed with dynamic gait index and Timed up and go test in pre and post treatment. Result: Data collected were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 11 version for t-test. Mean pre-treatment dynamic gait index score of control and experimental group are 16.33 and 17.06 respectively. Mean pre-treatment timed up and go test score of control and experimental group are 27.93 and 27.53 respectively. Mean post treatment dynamic gait index score of control and experimental group are 22.33 and 23.33 respectively. Mean Post treatment timed up and go test score of control and experimental group are 17.66 and 19.33 respectively. The mean difference of experimental group was 6.2 which greater then mean difference of control group 6. The t-value is 16.80 which were greater than p value 0.0001.These values suggest there was significant effect in giving balance training with obstacle ambulation training than balance training alone. Conclusion: To conclude, though both Balance training and Balance training with obstacle ambulation exercises are beneficial in Stroke patients, Balance training with Obstacle ambulation proved to be better than the Balance training alone in improving the Functional balance. This study proves this statement statistically with significance.
