Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12

Abstract

Background: Stroke is defined as rapidly developing Clinical Signs of focal disturbance of Cerebral functions, lasting for more than 24 hours (or) leading to death with no appropriate cause other than that of vascular origin. The aim of trunk rehabilitation and balance training is to improve trunk stability and trunk muscle performance. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of trunk rehabilitation and balance in hemiplegic patients and to compare the trunk rehabilitation and balance training with conventional physiotherapy. Material & Methodology: 30 subjects with hemplegia were selected in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into 2 groups. Patients in Interventional group were given trunk rehabilitation and balance training. Patients in control group were given conventional physiotherapy. Berg balance scale and trunk impairment scale will be used as clinical outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness of training method in improving trunk control and balance respectively. Result: Comparison between 2 groups was analyzed using the unpaired t-test. It revealed a statistically significant difference of p-value (p<0.001) between the TIS scoring of group A & B and also showed a showed a statistically significant difference of p-value (p<0.001) between the berg balance scale scorings of group A & Group B.
