Abstract

Background: One of the significant causes of morbidity worldwide and an essential contributor to disability is Stroke. As said by the National Stroke Association, nine post-stroke survivors out of 10 experience some degree of weakness post-stroke. The hemiplegic patients with sub-acute stroke, who will undergo training to both the lower limb overtraining to only involved side will have an improvement in balance and walking. The goal of this study is to see how much training to both the lower limb improves functional recovery in patients who have had a subacute stroke compared to unilateral, more insufficient limb training.

Objective: The goal of this study was to see how training to both the lower limb overtraining to the hemiparetic lower limb on balance and walking in subacute stroke patients.

Methods: A randomized clinical study with assessor blinding will be conducted with participants with subacute stroke (n=40). Participants will be randomized to one of two groups after performing baseline assessments: Group A or Group B.1st group will receive training only to the hemiparetic side, i.e., Motor Relearning Programme and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, and 2nd group participants will receive bilateral training, i.e., Strengthening to the unaffected side along with Motor Relearning Programme and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to the affected side. During the therapy period, we will assess lower limb function through static and dynamic balance, walking, and gait measures.

Results: The purpose of the research is to look into the effect of training to both the lower limb overtraining to the hemiparetic lower limb on balance and walking in subacute stroke patients. The results of this study will be based on the outcome measures that are static and dynamic balance in the stroke patients and walking.

Conclusion: The study's findings will shed more light on the benefits of training to both the lower limb overtraining to only involved side in patients post-stroke. If this trial proves successful, it will help post-stroke patients improve their balance and walking.
