Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Berg Balance Scale
The Berg Balance Scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability or inability to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks.
12th Week
Stroke impact scale
The Stroke Impact Scale assesses other dimensions of health related quality of life: emotion, communication, memory and thinking, and social role function. \*The first four of these domains may be combined into one physical domain, but the others must be scored separately.
12th Week
Study Arms (2)
Faradic current
EXPERIMENTALThis study will use the faradic current for treating foot drop. In Group A 15 number of patient with foot drop will get the 40 minutes of session with the frequency of 50-100hz alternative three days / week for 25 weeks
Ankle foot orthosis
EXPERIMENTALGroup B will get the treatment by Ankle foot orthosis.In group B 15 patients with foot drop will get the session alternative three days/week for 25 weeks. All participants have to use Ankle foot orthosis on a daily basis and patients have to walk for 10 minutes without walking aid.
Interventions
The most common Electrical stimulation applied for foot drop is faradic current. Faradic current provides the strength and improvement to volitational muscles and increase the coordination and reduce spasticity.
AFO is most commonly used technique but it also has some disadvantage mainly is the movement in limited direction and also in development of contractures and may have the problem in standing from chair
