About

Stroke is one of the major cause of lifelong disability if not treated on time, the investigator's technique knows as Compelled Body Weight Shift Technique (CBWS) was utilized and administered to chronic stroke population and results were figured out using gait parameters and Tinetti POMA scale.

Full description

Total 28 sample size out of which 27 were divided into control and experimental group. Inclusion criteria was Unilateral chronic stroke with asymmetrical stance, Patients with score of 3,4 and 5 will be included according to FAS (Functional Ambulation Scale), Ability to understand and follow instructions, Both male and female, Any type of stroke, and Age 40-60. Written and informed consent was obtained from participants of study. Six weeks of exercise training was combined with compelled body weight shift technique via shoe lift of 0.6 cm thickness for experimental group and for control group training was performed without shoe lift.

Enrollment: 27 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 40 to 60 years old

27 participants in 2 patient groups

Experimental Group (Group A)

Experimental group

Description:

Subjects were randomly assigned and informed consent was obtained, the subjects were educated about treatment and on the basis of functional ambulation scale 3,4 and 5 subjects were included, along with this the subjects of age group between 40-60 having ability to understand and follow instructions were included in study. Results were obtained by using gait parameters including walk speed, cadence, step rate, stride length The tinetti POMA scale was utilized to record changes post treatment in gait , the weight bearing was recorded using Camry ZT-160 analog weight scale At the end of every week results were obtained.
