Brief Summary

This single group quasi-experimental study was conducted at Rafsan Neuro Rehab Center, Peshawar from October 2021 to February 2022. The sample size of study was 40 post stroke patients who were diagnosed on physical findings and other investigation like CT and MRI. The inclusion criteria were set as post-stroke patients for more than 3 months with 20 and above score on MAS scale and age of 55 to 65 years, while the exclusion criteria were defined as participants having traumatic brain injuries, degenerative brain diseases, post craniotomy tumor patients leading to hemiplegia, patients having recurrent episodes of stroke, stroke patient with dementia and score on MAS scale below 20.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• TUG test

  Objective of the TUG test is to determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking.

  8 weeks

• MAS scale

  The Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) is a performance-based scale used to assess level of impairment and everyday motor function in patients with stroke.

  8 weeks

• Forward stepping test

  Forward stepping test is used to assess the balance of the patients with stroke or other neurological disorder.

  8 weeks

• Functional reach test

  The Functional reach test assesses a patient's stability by measuring the maximum distance an individual can reach forward while standing in a fixed position.

EXPERIMENTAL

In intervention the participants took part in the VR training. The X-BOX 360 (Augmented virtual reality) device was used. The participants were guided about the virtual reality training including Kinect sports gamming (Trail 1. badminton, beach volley ball, Soccer goal keeping). Each training was performed for 15 minutes with 5 minutes break time. The whole training was performed for 8 weeks. After eight weeks final assessment was done through outcome measuring tools (TUG test, MAS scale, forward stepping test and Functional reach test).
