Comparative Effects of Exergaming Versus Task Oriented Training Among Sub-acute Post-stroke Patients

Comparative Effects of Exergaming Versus Task Oriented Training Among Sub-acute Post-stroke Patients

This study is a randomized control trail and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of exergaming versus task oriented training among sub-acute post-stroke patients.

Effects of exergaming training will be assessed for trunk control which includes the parameters of balance and posture.

Sub-acute post stroke patients aged 40-85 years The participants will be assessed through Trunk impairment scale (TIS), Berg Blanace Scale (BBS) and biodex (clinical test for sensory integration in balance).

Informed consent will be taken after which the participants will be recruited into the two groups, where one group will receive intervention through exergaming and other group will receive task oriented trainig.

Baseline and post-treatment measurements will be taken for analysis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients diagnosed with sub-acute post-stroke.
• Aged 40 years-85 years.
• Mini-mental status examination >24
• Motor assessment scale (1-5 scoring)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Post-stroke patients with major cognitive deficits.
• Acute infections.
• Patients with any fracture/ MSK disorders.
• Neurological deficits other than stroke
