Postural Assessment of Stroke Patients by Pose Estimation and Effects of Dynamic Core Postural Chain Stabilization

Postural Assessment of Stroke Patients by Pose Estimation and Effects of Dynamic Core Postural Chain Stabilization Techniques

This study focuses on a two-pronged strategy to enhance the rehabilitation of stroke patients. It first investigates the application of pose estimating technologies to objectively measure posture.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Stroke
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Group A; Behavioral: Group B

Detailed Description

This can entail capturing a patient's body position with cameras or other sensors in order to detect any imbalances or variations from normal posture brought on by the stroke. The study also looks at how well dynamic core postural chain stabilization (DCS) methods work for stroke recovery. The goal of DCS exercises is to increase stability and strength in the core, which can help with general postural control. This research aims to optimize stroke patient rehabilitation by combining a precise evaluation approach with a focused intervention strategy, which may result in improved balance, movement, and functional abilities.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group B	Behavioral: Group B; Group B was treated with physical therapy; (Upper limb: The stroke patient warmed up with some gentle stretches for the wrist and fingers to get the muscles ready. They subsequently engaged in resistance training using dumbbells or resistance bands to increase the strength of their upper limbs. Bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses were some of these exercises. They tried to complete two to three sets of ten to fifteen repetitions for each exercise, progressively increasing the resistance as their strength increased. Then, to improve dexterity and coordination in daily tasks, functional exercises were included.
Other: Group A	Diagnostic test: Group A; Group A was treated with Ibuprofen Dosage After breakfast and after dinner for 6 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Berg Balance Scale	For evaluating balance in a variety of functional tasks, the BBS is a commonly used and validated test. After the intervention period, the BBS scores of the control group and the intervention group (who received DCS techniques) can be compared. The efficacy of DCS in enhancing postural control would be strongly supported by a statistically significant increase in the intervention group's BBS score.	12 Months
Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) Score	The total score for TIS ranges between 0 for a minimal performance to 23 for a perfect performance. In a recent version of the TIS (version 2.0) for adults, the static subscale was removed because of a ceiling effect, total score ranges between 0 and 16 points	12 months
