This study aims to determine effect of Plantar vibration and Otago exercise on risk of fall and quality of life in hemiplegic elderly
Stroke is one of the major causes of permanent disability. Stroke can have many causes and occurs mainly in old age, Hemiplegic patients have a two-fold higher risk of falling than other patients of the same age or gender, beside fall in older adults can cause significant physical and psychological injury to the individual. Otago exercises are the interventions given for fall prevention in elderly and showed good results with hemiplegic cases as well, it is easy and could be done by old adults even at home. Plantar vibration as a cheap, portable, and easy applicable, saving time and with no effort could be a good choice as a treatment tool to be added for old hemiplegic patients treatment programme. Thus applying an easy and effective programme for old hemiplegic subjects that reduces their risk of fall and improves their balance and ADL and at the same time helps them to conduct it easily and adhere to it should be our target to full fill.

|---|---|---|---|
| Planter vibrator with otago exercise | Active Comparator | This group will receive15 minutes of plantar vibration with frequency of 80 Hz, with 10 seconds of vibration and 5 seconds of rest with total time 15 min before the 50 minutes Otago exercise. The frequency of the exercise will be 3 times a week for 12 weeks. |

| Berg balance scale | It is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. | Through 12 weeks |
| Time up and go test | The participant was instructed to sit back in the chair without arms, to stand up on the command "Go," walk 3 m to the line marked on the floor at a normal pace, turn 180°, and walk back to the chair, and sit down again on the chair,An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the TUG is at risk for falling. | Through 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stroke specific quality of life scale | It is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) specific to patients with stroke.Patients must respond to each question of the SS-QOL with reference to the past week. It is a self-report scale containing 49 items in 12 domains.Higher scores indicate better functioning. | Through 12 weeks |

The study group will be treated with both plantar vibration and Otago exercise whereas the control group will receive Otago exercise only. Both groups will receive a 50 minutes of otago exercise program except for the study group will take 15 minutes of plantar vibration with frequency of 80 Hz, with 10 seconds of vibration and 5 seconds of rest with total time 15 min before the Otago exercise. The frequency of the exercise will be 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

| Modified barthel index | It is composed of the following 10 items investigating 10 functional ADLs: feeding, personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, chair-bed transfer, toileting, bladder continence, bowel continence, ambulation or wheelchair use, and stair climbing. The score for each item is attributed by the clinician who observes the patient while performing the functional task and evaluates the amount of assistance the patient requires using a 5-point Likert scale.Each activity is assigned a score from 0 to 15, indicating the patient's level of independence.Higher scores signify greater independence, while lower scores indicate dependence or the need for assistance. | Though 12 weeks |
| Ankle PROM | The 90° was defined as the neutral position for the measurements using an ankle biplane goniometer Ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion from the neutral position was given either a positive or negative value | Though 12 weeks |
