Effects of Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training Versus Motor Dual Task Training on Balance, Postural Control, and Fall Risk in Chronic Stroke Survivors

5. August 2026 aktualisiert von: Hafsah Arshad, Ibadat International University, Islamabad

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.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and is associated with significant impairments in balance, postural control, mobility, and functional independence. Balance dysfunction remains one of the most challenging complications in chronic stroke survivors despite conventional rehabilitation interventions.

Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training (VOBT) is an evidence-based rehabilitation approach designed to improve balance by stimulating the vestibular system and enhancing sensory integration. This intervention includes exercises involving head movements, gaze stabilization, balance challenges on stable and unstable surfaces, dynamic postural tasks, and coordinated body movements.

Although both Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training and Motor Dual Task Training have demonstrated beneficial effects individually, there is limited high-quality evidence directly comparing their effectiveness in improving balance, postural control, and fall risk among chronic stroke survivors. Identifying the more effective rehabilitation strategy would assist physiotherapists in selecting evidence-based interventions that optimize patient recovery and functional independence.

The present study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training and Motor Dual Task Training on balance, postural control, and fall risk in individuals with chronic stroke. A total of 50 eligible participants diagnosed with chronic stroke will be recruited using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly allocated into two parallel intervention groups using a computer-generated randomization sequence.

Participants allocated to the experimental group will receive Vestibular-Oriented Balance Training in addition to conventional physiotherapy. The intervention will consist of progressive vestibular exercises including gaze stabilization, head movement exercises, balance training on different support surfaces, weight-shifting activities, dynamic standing balance tasks, reaching activities, stepping exercises, and functional gait activities. The intensity and difficulty of the exercises will be progressively increased according to each participant's performance and tolerance throughout the intervention period.

Participants allocated to the active comparator group will receive Motor Dual Task Training together with the same conventional physiotherapy program. The intervention will include simultaneous performance of balance and mobility tasks combined with functional motor activities such as walking while carrying objects, obstacle negotiation, reaching during standing, stepping while manipulating objects, and other progressively challenging motor dual-task exercises. Exercise progression will be individualized according to participant performance to ensure safety and maximize functional improvement.

Both groups will receive intervention sessions three times per week for five consecutive weeks. Each treatment session will last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Conventional physiotherapy will be standardized across both groups to ensure that the only difference between groups is the assigned experimental intervention.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Biodex Over all stability Index
Zeitfenster: assessment at baseline and after 6 weeks
Overall Stability Index (OSI) on the Biodex Balance System is a comprehensive score measuring how well a person controls their balance and keeps a moving platform level. Higher numbers mean more platform tilt and poorer balance control, while lower numbers show better stability and stronger neuromuscular coordination.
assessment at baseline and after 6 weeks
Biodex Fall Risk index
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 6 weeks
It measures a person's stability and risk of falling by tracking how much they sway on a moveable balance platform. Higher scores indicate poor stability and a higher likelihood of falls
at baseline and after 6 weeks
Modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 6 weeks
a clinical tool used to evaluate static postural control and identify which sensory systems (vision, vestibular, or somatosensory/proprioceptive) a patient relies on or struggles with to maintain balance.
at baseline and after 6 weeks

Sekundäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Biodex APSI
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 6 weeks
Anterior/Posterior Stability Index (APSI) on the Biodex Balance System measures front-to-back postural sway and balance ability. Higher scores indicate greater platform displacement and poorer stability, while lower scores reflect better front-to-back neuromuscular control and stability.
at baseline and after 6 weeks
Biodex Medial/Lateral Stability Index
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 6 weeks
A lower score indicates better stability, meaning the person stayed closer to the center level. A higher score represents greater side-to-side sway, indicating poor postural performance or a higher risk of falling.
at baseline and after 6 weeks
