Description détaillée

Effects of virtual reality and Frenkel's exercises on balance, gait, and quality of life in 36 stroke patients selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (virtual reality) and Group B (Frenkel's exercises).Each intervention was administered three times weekly for 30 minutes per session over six weeks. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. This study concluded that virtual reality training significantly improved balance and quality of life in stroke patients, whereas Frenkel's exercises were more effective in enhancing gait. The effect of PNF with and without EMS on spasticity gait and lower limb function in 22 chronic stroke patient Participants were randomly divided into control group, receiving PNF technique alone and an experimental group, receiving PNF combined with EMS. The PNF technique include rhythmic initiation, stabilizing reversal and dynamic reversal while EMS was applied at frequency of 25 to 50 hertz for 10 seconds three times a week for 6 weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The experiment group showed significant improvement over the control group. The effectiveness of Frankles exercise on balance and Function for post stroke patients on 28 patients who were randomly assigned into two groups. Among them 14 patients were assigned into experimental group received Frankel with Conventional Physiotherapy and another 14 into control group received only conventional physiotherapy. Total treatment sessions were twenty-four comprising of 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. The Effects of electrical muscle stimulation on core muscle activation and physical performance in non-athletic adults data as randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial conducted at a single centre to study. Forty-one healthy young volunteers were recruited and randomized into two groups: strengthening with superimposed EMS (S+E) and strengthening (S) groups. Participants underwent the 30 minutes of strength training program, three times a week for 8 weeks, consisting of core muscle exercises. Study concluded EMS as a safe and reasonable modality for improving physical fitness in healthy individuals.Effects of whole-body electromyostimulation on function, muscle mass, strength, social participation, and falls-efficacy in older people. Two different exercise groups formed through stratified random sampling, an experimental group (EG), which will undergo WB-EMS training, and an active control group (ACG), which will undergo resistance exercise training. Assessment was calculated at baseline and after eight weeks, three months, and six months after intervention. Study concluded that innovative, time-efficient, joint-friendly, and highly individualized exercise technologies (such as WB-EMS) may be a good choice for the elderly with time constraints, physical limitations, or little enthusiasm, who are exercising less than the recommended amounts for impact on muscle mass, strength, and function. The effect of BAPS board versus Frenkel's exercise on balance in stroke patients. 10 subjects were recruited and divided into two groups, BAPS Board training was given to one group and Frenkel's exercise was given to another group for seven consecutive days and its pre and post intervention effect were noted with the help of Berg Balance Scale As per study, it has been concluded that BAPS Board and Frenkel exercise both improve balance in post stroke patient. Limitation of the studies include untreated control group that was absent in this study. Further research is needed to identify specific interventions that enhance recovery of function after stroke. The effectiveness of Frenkel's exercise for improving lower limb sensation, balance, motor function, functional ambulation, and activities of daily living in subacute ischemic stroke patients with impaired proprioception. Through retrospective cohort study. He enrolled 14 patients suffering subacute ischemic stroke divided into two groups: intervention group (performed Frenkel's exercise, 15 minutes per day, 15 days over a period of 3 weeks, n=7) and control group (received conventional physical therapy instead, n=7). The study concluded that Frenkel's exercise improves sensory and balance recovery among subacute ischemic stroke patients with impaired proprioception and minimal lower limb motor weakness. This study aims to address this gap by providing evidence-based recommendations on combined effect of Frenkels exercise with EMS and tailored exercise strategies for stroke patients

Description de la mesure
Délai
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
Délai: Baseline and 8th week
It's a 14-item performance-based measure, meaning it assesses how well a person can perform specific tasks related to balance. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale (0-4), with higher scores indicating better balance, and a total score range of 0-56.
Baseline and 8th week
The Nottingham Sensory Assessment (NSA)
Délai: baseline and 8th week

NSA is used to evaluate sensory impairments, particularly in individuals who have experienced stroke.

scores ranging from 0 (extreme difficulty/unable to perform) to 4 (no difficulty) for each item.

baseline and 8th week
The Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT)
Délai: Baseline and 8th Week
(LEMOCOT) scoring scale involves assessing an individual's ability to perform specific lower extremity movements, with scores ranging from 0 (extreme difficulty/unable to perform) to 4 (no difficulty) for each item. The total score is obtained by summing the scores of all items, with a higher score indicating better motor coordination.
