About

PURPOSE: to investigate the effect of vibroacoustic therapy device with laser motion guidance affect balance sensory integration in patients with stroke BACKGROUND: Following stroke, motor recovery can be dictated by the degree of sensory disruption, The application of vibroacoustic therapy device with laser motion guidance could improve balance and sensory integration functions.

Full description

Forty-four patients post vascular stroke, from both sexes were participated in this study. The patients were randomly divided into four equal groups; Group (I) will receive vibroacoustic therapy and a selected physical therapy program. Group (II) will receive laser motion guidance therapy and a selected physical therapy program. Group (III) will receive vibroacoustic therapy, laser motion guidance and a selected physical therapy program. Group (IV) will receive the selected physical therapy program. The evaluation methods by Biodex balance system using Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (CTSIB), Time up and go test, and The Functional Independence Measure

Enrollment: 44 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 45 to 60 years old
