Combined Effects of Rhythmic Breathing and Balance Training on Balance and Trunk Control in Stroke Patients

4 maja 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Riphah International University

Combined Effects of Rhythmic Breathing Exercises and Balance Training on Balance and Trunk Control in Patients With Stroke

The goal of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of rhythmic breathing and balance training on balance, trunk control and postural control in patients with sub-acute stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Will there be a difference in combined effects of rhythmic breathing exercises and balance training on balance and trunk control in patients with stroke?
  • Will there be no difference in combined effects of rhythmic breathing exercises and balance training on balance and trunk control in patients with stroke? The participants will be evenly divided into two groups,
  • the experimental group will receive rhythmic breathing exercises along with balance training and conventional physical therapy
  • the control group will only receive balance training and physical therapy. Both the groups will perform their respective exercises for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for consecutive 8 weeks.

Szczegółowy opis

The aim of this study is to evaluate the combined effects of rhythmic breathing and balance training on balance, trunk control and postural control in sub-acute stroke patients. It will be a single blinded randomized controlled trial. Non-probability convenience sampling will be used to recruit 50 patients aged 45-65 years from Dr. Faisal Masood Teaching Hospital Sargodha. Through the computerized generator table method of randomization, the allocated patients will be evenly divided into two groups, the experimental group undergoing Rhythmic Breathing exercises along with Balance training and conventional physical therapy and the control group only balance training and physical therapy. Both the groups will perform their respective exercises for 60 minutes 3 days a week for consecutive 8 weeks. The stroke patients will be assessed at the baseline and post intervention with outcome measuring tools. Balance will be assessed through Berg Balance Scale (BBS), trunk control will be assessed through Trunk Impairment Scale(TIS), and postural control will be assessed through Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS). Data will be analyzed in SPSS version 27.0.

Opis środka
Ramy czasowe
Berg Balance Scale
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and 8th week
The BBS is a 14-item measure used to assess functional mobility, static balance, and dynamic balance excluding ambulation. However, BBS scores have also been correlated with stroke patient's motor and functional performance. Scores range on an ordinal scale from zero (indicating need for assistance to minimally perform the task) to four (indicating independent performance of the task); with a maximum possible score of 56. Historically, a score below 45/56 is typically indicative of increased fall risk.
Baseline and 8th week
Trunk Impairment Scale
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and 8th week
The original version of Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) was developed by in 2004. It comprises 17 items (scored on a 2, 3 or 4-point ordinal scale) and evaluates static and dynamic sitting, balance and trunk coordination. The total score ranges from minimum 0 to maximum 23 points, a higher score indicating a better performance.
Baseline and 8th week
Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and 8th week
The Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS) is a scale developed specifically for stroke patients. It examines the patient's ability to maintain or change a given lying, sitting or standing posture, is easy to administer in the clinic and applicable to all patients, even those with very poor postural performance. It contains 12 items of varying difficulty for assessing ability to maintain or change a given lying, sitting, or standing posture. The items are assessed on a 4 level (0-3 point) rating scale. The score ranges from a minimum of 0 (worst performance) to a maximum of 36 (best performance).
