Effects of home exercise protol on quality of life in stroke survivers
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Studies showed that supervised exercises at hospital level have more significant improvement in the QoL in stroke survivors than the non-supervised exercises at the community level. Hence the purpose of the study was to study the effect of community-based monitored home exercise programme in stroke survivors to improve the motor performance and the functional independence. Aim and Objectives: To study the effect of home exercise protocol on quality of life in stroke survivors and find effect of home exercise protocol on quality of life in stroke survivors using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Functional Assessment Measure (FAM). Methodology: Total 70 Individuals were evaluated and taken for the home exercise protocol which were independent and was one year old or more suffering from stroke. Amongst these 30 individuals satisfying inclusion criteria were qualified for the project topic. Study Design: experimental, Study Setting: stroke society,Target population: stroke survivors, Sample population: stroke patients, Sampling method: random, Sample size: 30 Results: FIM results: 6Paired t test is done P value is< 0.0001, considered extremely significant =13.001 with 29 degrees of freedom. Pre: 49% post: 80% improvement: 31% FAM results: paired t test done P value is 0.2551, considered extremely significant =1.150 with 56 degrees of freedom. Pre: 48% post: 80% improvement 32% Conclusion: The designed home exercise protocol works efficiently and helps the patient to move towards the better life and towards independency. There is intense positive effect of home exercise protocol on quality of life in stroke survivors.
