Comparative Effect of Vojta Therapy and Bobath Therapy on Lower Limb Spasticity and Motorcity Among HS

Background: Stroke is clinical defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by acute disruption of blood flow to an area of brain and corresponding onset of neurological defects related to the concerned area of brain. Hemiplegic patient primarily affects the upper limb and lower limb of one side and typically results in flaccidity and difficulties with motor control and function.

About this study

The aim of this study will compare the Effect of Vojta therapy and Bobath therapy on lower limb spasticity and motorcity among hemiparetic stroke patients. Methodology: Randomize clinical trials will be carried out on lower limb spasticity and motorcity among hemiparetic stroke patients. This study will include adult's stroke (1-4 months post- onset). Inclusion criteria in which diagnosed with hemiplegic patients, aged 25-75 years and willingness to participants.

Treatment and study plan

Vojta therapy

Combination Product

Vojta therapy, also known as Reflex Locomotion Therapy, is a specialized physiotherapy technique developed by Czech neurologist Václav Vojta, using sensory stimulation to activate innate movement patterns and improve motor skills, posture, and overall function

Bobath therapy

Combination Product

Bobath therapy, also known as Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), is a problem-solving approach to neurological rehabilitation, focusing on motor learning and efficient motor control to improve function and participation in daily activities

Primary outcomes

  1. Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale(FMA)

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The total possible scale score is 226. Points are divided among the domains as follows: Motor score: ranges from 0 (hemiplegia) to 100 points (normal motor performance). Divided into 66 points for upper extremity and 34 points for the lower extremity.

  2. Modified ashworth scale( MAS)

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a clinical tool used to measure spasticity, a velocity-dependent increase in muscle stretch reflexes, by assessing the resistance to passive movement. It's a six-level ordinal scale, ranging from 0 (no increase in tone) to 4 (affected part rigid)
