Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Exercises Versus Perturbation-based Balance Training on Balance, Coordination and Proprioception in Subacute Stroke Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PNF(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises), PBBT (pertubation based balance training), and 1 other intervention for Stroke. Targeting 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To determine the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises versus perturbation-based balance training on balance, coordination, and proprioception in subacute stroke patients, it will be a randomized clinical trial.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
PNF involves both stretching and contracting (activation) of the muscle group being targeted in order to achieve maximum static flexibility, along with its D1\&D2 flexion/extension patterns to improve dynamic flexibility and thus improving balance and coordination. total 8 weeks session was given to patients. 45 mins session/each day for 6 days a week.
Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is an emerging task-specific intervention that aims to improve reactive balance control after destabilizing perturbations in a safe and controlled environment. Pertubations are given by therapist in unexpected directions to challenge patients reactive balance. In this study pertubations will be given manually and on treadmill by a harness system. daily 45 mins of exercise session of pertuations divided into double leg foam roller, wobble board exercises and pertubations on treadmill were performed for total 8 weeks and 6 days a week.
proprioceptive neuromuscular exercises, pertubation based balance training along with conventional physiotherapy exercises were given for 8 weeks and 6 days per week for around 45 mins.
