Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect or ordinary and differential learning based physiotherapy for torso control, balance and gait on subjects with ischemic stroke in the second phase of rehabilitation

Conditions

Ischemic Stroke

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Torso control assessment scale

  The torso control rating scale evaluates torso functions in a variety of locations, whether standing, sitting or performing a mobility assessment task. Each task was scored from 0 to 3 points: 0 - cannot perform task, 3 - can perfom task independently. Total test score is 36 and a higher total score meant a better trunk function.

  Baseline to 3 weeks

• Berg balance test

  The Berg scale is used to assess a subject's static and dynamic balance. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4. The maximum obtainable score is 56. 0 points -are awarded to answers portraying the lowest level of function while 4 points are awarded to the highest level of function.

  Baseline to 3 weeks

• Dynamic gait index is used to assess the likelihood of falling. A four-point ordinal scale, ranging from 0-3 points. Total maximum score is 24 points. 0 points indicates the lowest level of function and 3 points - the highest level of function.

  Dynamic gait index assessed the gait model, provided information about the person's balance while walking
