About

This study is a randomized control trail and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of exergaming versus task oriented training among sub-acute post-stroke patients.

Full description

Effects of exergaming training will be assessed for trunk control which includes the parameters of balance and posture.

Sub-acute post stroke patients aged 40-85 years The participants will be assessed through Trunk impairment scale (TIS), Berg Blanace Scale (BBS) and biodex (clinical test for sensory integration in balance).

Informed consent will be taken after which the participants will be recruited into the two groups, where one group will receive intervention through exergaming and other group will receive task oriented trainig.

Baseline and post-treatment measurements will be taken for analysis.

30 participants in 2 patient groups

Interventional Group

Experimental group

Description:

The participants will receive intervention through exergaming XBOX 360 which includes Kinect 20,000 leaks, Kinect bubble pop and Kinect rally ball trunk exercises. week 1-2 Kinect bubble pop (beginner level), Kinect 20000 leaks (beginner level) week 3-4 Kinect bubble pop (intermediate level), Kinect 20000 leaks (intermediate level) week5-6 Kinect rally ball (beginner level), Kinect bubble pop (advanced level) week7-8 Kinect rally ball (intermediate and advanced level) total 8 weeks. 3 days per week session will be given for 30 minutes including 5 minutes warm up and cool down and 5 minutes of break in between to avoid fatigue.

Treatment:

Procedure: INTERVENTION GROUP; TRAINING WITH EXERGAMING

Control Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

The participant will receive task oriented training consisting of different tasks in sitting and standing position. week1-2 sitting position: throwing and catching balls standing position: picking up glass from less heighted table . week 3-4 sitting position: transferring the plastic rings from one corner of table to another. standing position: catching balls from multiple directions. wee5-6 sitting position: picking objects from floor standing position: opening drawer from less heighted tables week 7-8 standing position: picking up and transferring bottles, jars at different locations on table standing position: removing stickers from wall time of session: 15-20 repetitions, 2 sets. 30 minutes of session with 5 minutes rest in between. the intervention will be given for 30 minutes , 3 days a week for total 8 weeks of time period.

Treatment:

Procedure: Task oriented training
