Effects of Otago Exercises and Gaze Stabilization Exercises on Balance, Gait and Quality of Life in Elderly Stroke Patients
Overview
To compare effects of otago exercises and Gaze stabilization exercises on Balance, gait and quality of Life in elderly stroke patients
Detailed description
Study design will be a randomized clinical trial . Total 46 stroke patients will be recruited from Riphah Rehabilitation center and General hospital, Lahore by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Patients will be randomized and allocated into two intervention groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients in group A will receive Gaze Stabilization Exercises with conventional baseline treatment and group B patients will receive Otago Exercises with conventional baseline treatment. Patients will receive treatment of 40 minutes per session for 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index and Stroke specific quality of life will be used as assessment tools. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 26 version.
