How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Motor imagery technique
Motor Imagery technique Plus Conventional Physical therapy
Other: Motor imagery technique

The patient will sit on chair in a quiet room. The patients will be observing motor performance in video, motor performance video will consist of (1) knee flexion and extension movement, (2) sitting to standing movement, (3) stepping movement, (4) walking, (5) climbing and descending stairs.

Addition to motor imagery, the patients will be provided the passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.
Active Comparator: Conventional Physical therapy
passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.
Other: Conventional Physical Therapy
It includes passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lower Extremity Function scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It is 20 items questionnaire, measure the lower extremity function scoring from 1 to 4 for each items, in which minimum score is 0 and maximum score of 80 shows the maximum functional status. It has a valid and reliable tool to measure the lower extremity functional status.
8 weeks
Dynamic Gait Index
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It assess gait, balance and fall risk, with 24 is the maximum score, in which 19 or less have been related to increase incidence of falls. It has high reliability and validity in the stroke population.
8 weeks
Time Up and Go test
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. Score of less than 10 seconds indicate freely mobile,<20 seconds mostly independent, 20-29 seconds variable mobility, >30 seconds Impaired mobility. It is reliable, valid, and easy to administer clinical tool in stroke patients.
8 weeks
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale
Time Frame: 8 Weeks
It is a self-report questionnaire, measure the quality of life in stroke patients consisting of 49 items in the 12 domains. Scoring from 1 to 5 , in which 1 shows strongly agreement and 5 shows strongly disagreement. It is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the quality of life for stroke patients.
8 Weeks
Modified Ashworth scale
Time Frame: 8 Weeks
It measures the spasticity, ranging from 0 means normal tone to 4 shows increased tone to such extent where passive movement is not possible. It has good intra-rater reliability and validity in stroke patients .
8 Weeks
