Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the comparative effects of sensorimotor training and dual-task training on propriocetion, balance, functional mobility and fall risk in stroke patients.

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

Cognitive exercise, Dual-task, Proprioception, Rehabilitation, Sensorimotor exercise, Stroke.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mini-BESTest Scale

  It is a tool to assess dynamic balance across four domains: anticipatory postural adjustments, reactive postural control, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait. It consists of 14 items, each scored from 0 to 2, with a maximum total score of 28. Higher scores indicate better balance performance. The test is sensitive to changes in individuals with neurological conditions, including stroke.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• A diagnosis of stroke; ≥6 months after stroke onset
• Able to walk independently for at least 10 minutes
• Mini-BESTest score ≤21 indicating balance impairment.
• MoCA score ≥21 to confirm adequate cognitive function

You may not qualify if:

• Severe musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., advanced osteoarthritis, recent fractures) that significantly affect mobility or balance.
• Significant receptive or expressive aphasia
• Unstable heart or lung conditions preventing exercise.
• Active psychiatric disorders (e.g., major depression, schizophrenia)
• Not community-dwelling before the stroke event
• Involved in similar rehab or studies within the last 3 months
