Summary

To study the effect of sensorimotor integration exercises on balance and fall efficacy in sub-acute stroke by performing 18 balance training exercises with three progressive steps.

Detailed description

Balance impairment after stroke is significantly correlated with fall risk. To improve balance and reduce fall efficacy, the participants in the study group will be trained by six weeks three progressive steps of sensorimotor integration exercises. Each exercise step will take 30 minutes of a practice session, three sessions per week. Conventional physiotherapy (passive and active exercises and lower extremities strengthening exercises) will be given to the control group. The changes in balance performance and fall efficacy will be measured and compared within and between groups.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	sensory motor integration exercises	Sensorimotor integration exercises will be given in study group. The exercises will be performed in standing, sitting and walking. Exercises will be progressively increased from eye open to closed , floor to mat and head turns to right \& left under the supervision of physiotherapist. Sensorimotor integration exercises will take 45 minutes in each session.
BEHAVIORAL	conventional physiotherapy	Conventional physiotherapy will take 30 minutes in each session, taking three sessions per weeks for six weeks. The exercises include simple lower extremity exercise and ambulatory training such as sit to stand, stepping, lateral and backward walking, and tandom walking etc.
