Effects of Vojta Therapy on Posture and Trunk Control in Patients With Sub-acute Stroke

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Vojta therapy that is reflex locomotion therapy is a neurophysiological rehabilitation approach that stimulates specific reflex zones on the body to activate global, innate movement patterns. In stroke rehabilitation, it is used to improve postural control, trunk stability, and functional movement by engaging automatic motor responses. Vojta stimulation can activate motor cortical and subcortical areas as well as postural muscles. Pose estimation will be used to analyze human motion in stroke patients. The study will identify if there is significant difference in the comparative effects of Vojta therapy in addition to routine physical therapy on posture, trunk control and upper extremity motor function in sub-acute stroke patients
