About
The Objective of the is to determine effect of balance, resistance, aerobic, cognitive exercises (BRACE) protocol on balance, cognition and mobility among stroke patients and to compare the effect of Balance, Resistance, Aerobic, and Cognitive Exercise (BRACE) and task-oriented training on balance cognition and mobility in stroke patients. The study will be randomized control trial including 2 experimental groups with estimated 21 individual in each group.
Full description
Stroke is a major and growing global health concern. According to the most current estimates of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) (2019) stroke burden, stroke continues to be the world's second-leading cause of death and the third-leading cause of death and disability. Stroke is the second most prevalent cause of disability worldwide, and survivors frequently experience impairments to their hands and cognitive functions. Because strokes and sudden cerebrovascular accidents occur so often and have such fatal effects, they remain among the most dangerous global health concerns.
Generally, stroke patients experience diminished motor abilities, as well as impairments to their senses, cognition, and visual perception. In addition, they experience compromised physical function, which makes walking independently challenging because of reduced gait endurance, speed of walking, and balance. Patients with such a decrease in their ability to maintain balance find challenging to walk and perform useful movements, which can cause problems in day-to-day living. Moreover, a stroke patient's ability to walk may be even worse if they fall.
Another major cause of stress for survivors of stroke is the cognitive effect, since they may experience issues with concentration, working memory, and remembering.
Trunk function impairments tend to occur in survivors of strokes. Impaired center of pressure control when sitting, muscular weakness and prolonged trunk muscle activation, severe errors in trunk position awareness, poor trunk performance, and trunk imbalance during walking have all been documented in prior research.
Rehabilitative treatment is a particularly effective therapy in terms of improving recovery from impairment. The objective of rehabilitation is "to achieve and sustain maximum performance in the emotional, mental, and physical domains" .A greater awareness of the neurological underpinnings of therapeutic restoration has occurred with a greater awareness of the former.
Numerous publications that focus on balancing training exercises, strength exercises, and aerobic activities independently have been published in the past several years. BRACE, which stands for Balance, Resistance, Aerobic, and Cognition Exercises, is a new treatment protocol meant to reduce fall risk and improve mobility in older adults. There has not been much work done on the BRACE procedure, therefore we will be focusing on it in this study. Our research compares how Balance Resistance Aerobic Cognitive Exercises (BRACE) affect stroke patients' balance, cognition, and mobility.
