Effects of Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training Versus Motor Dual Task Training on Balance, Postural Control, and Fall Risk in Chronic Stroke SurvivorsIIUI/RERC
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training and Motor Dual Task Training on balance, postural control, and fall risk among chronic stroke survivors. Forty-six participants diagnosed with chronic stroke will be randomly allocated into two intervention groups. Both groups will receive conventional physiotherapy along with their assigned intervention for six weeks. Outcome measures will include the Biodex Balance System (Overall Stability Index, Anterior-Posterior Stability Index, Medial-Lateral Stability Index and Fall Risk Index), Modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance( m-CTISB). The findings will provide evidence regarding the most effective rehabilitation strategy for improving, Overall stability, and functional balance and reducing fall risk in chronic stroke survivors.
