Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: effect of gait training with AS on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence in stroke
Patients with chronic stroke receive gait training with auditory stimuli to improve dynamic balance, gait and functional independence.
Other: conventional gait training
The experimental group received circuit gait training with auditory stimuli using a smartphone metronome application. The training program consisted of eight different activities i.e. tandem walk, one-leg standing, military march, sitting up and forward walk, lateral walk, kicking a ball towards the wall, walking on a set pattern and obstacle walk .Patient will practice each task for 3-4 mints and three times per week.
Other Names:
  • Gait training with auditory stimuli
Other: effect of conventional gait training on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence in stroke
Patients in this group receive conventional gait training only to improve dynamic balance, gait and functional independence .Patients did not receive auditory stimuli for gait training.
Other: conventional gait training

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Berg balance scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.
6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Barthel index
Time Frame: 6 weeks
it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.
6 weeks
Gait speed
Time Frame: 6 weeks
it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration
6 weeks
POMA
Time Frame: 6 weeks
It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.
6 weeks
