Comparative Effects of Dual Task and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Balance ,Cognition and Motor Function in Chronic Stroke Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dual tasking and PNF(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises) for Stroke. Targeting 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of dual tasking and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on balance, cognition and motor function in chronic stroke patients. It will be randomized clinical trial.

Interventions
Dual-task training is an emerging task-specific intervention that aims to improve reactive balance control after destabilizing perturbations in a safe and controlled environment. Dual tasking is given by therapist in unexpected directions to challenge patients reactive balance. In this study dual tasking will be given manually and on hurdles. Daily 45 mins of exercise sessions of dual-task training like walking with talking , walking with a filled cup of water, walking with looking on clock performed for total eight weeks and 5 days a week.
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 will be given to patients. 45 mins session/each day for 5 days a week.
