Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to find the effects of strength training with or without mirror therapy of non-paralytic upper limb for functional activities and in lower limb for gait pattern, balance and stability, and ADLs of paralytic side in patients with acute and sub-acute stroke. A randomized controlled trial that will include total 44 participants .The control group will undergo usual rehabilitation training along with strength training. The trial group will undergo strength training and mirror therapy of NHS on the basis of usual rehabilitation training. For the control group, training time will be 30 minutes, once a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. IN trial group, training time will be 30 minutes therapy, once a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. were allowed to rest for 3-5 min during each training. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Modified Barthel Index

  MBI is a five-level rating scale, including evaluation of bathing, grooming, feeding, dressing, bowels, bladder, toilet, stairs, chair/bed transfers, and walking. Higher scores represent higher degree of ADL independence. MBI was an efficient, reliable, and valid assessment of ADL for stroke patients.

  8 weeks

• Dynamic Gait Index

  Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) is a performance-based tool that quantifies the dynamic balance instability developed by Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, evaluates the ability of the individual to modify gait in response to changing functions during walking.

  8 weeks

• Berg Balance Scale

  Consists of 14 tasks and total score of 56.score of 0-20 indicates severe fall risk, 20-45 includes moderate risk of fall and 45-60 illustrates thr functional balances state.

Study Arms (2)

Strength Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Non-hemiplegic lower limb stepping forward training Non-hemiplegic upper limb pulling elastic belt in standing position repeatedly Hemiplegic lower limb stepped over an obstacle or climbed a platform The patients will stretch their arms to touch distant objects in a standing position repeatedly.

Other: Strength Training

Mirror Therapy and strength Training Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the (trial group) mirror and strength training group observed the reflection of the exercising arm and leg in the mirror. Participants in the (control group) strength training only group will exercise without a mirror entirely.

Other: Strength Training; Other: Mirror therapy
