About this study

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli using a smart phone metronome application on dynamic balance, gait and functional abilities of chronic stroke patients.

Treatment and study plan

Conventional Gait Training

Other

The experimental group received circuit gait training with auditory stimuli using a smartphone metronome application. The training program consisted of eight different activities i.e. tandem walk, one-leg standing, military march, sitting up and forward walk, lateral walk, kicking a ball towards the wall, walking on a set pattern and obstacle walk .Patient will practice each task for 3-4 mints and three times per week.

Other names: Gait training with auditory stimuli

Primary outcomes

  1. Berg balance scale

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Barthel index

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.

  2. Gait speed

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration

  3. POMA

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.
