Effects of High-intensity Interval Aerobic Training on Balance, Walking Capacity, and Quality of Life in Patients With Sub-acute Stroke

Hemiplegia is one of the most common sequelae of stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults all around the world. Stroke survivors can suffer several neurological impairments and deficits which have an important impact on patient's quality of life and which increase the costs for health and social services. After stroke, impairments in ADLs and functional status, deterioration in health related quality of life can be seen.

The purpose of this study is to Determine the effect of Aerobic exercise training on Balance, Walking capacity and quality of life in sub-acute stroke.

Treatment and study plan

High Intensity Interval Training

Other

All the participants underwent 5 weeks of High intensity interval training.

Primary outcomes

  1. 6 Minute walk Test

    Time frame: 5 weeks

    To determine the cardiorespiratory fitness of individual after sub-acute stroke.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Berg Balance test and rating scale

    Time frame: 5 weeks

    The scale is used to determine the Balance and stability of patient. Total score of the scale is 56. A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.

  2. Stroke Impact scale

    Time frame: 5 weeks

    The scale is used to measure the impairment and quality of life after stroke. The scale consists of 8 domains. In this study, only 4 domains related to hand function ,strength, mobility and Activity of daily living were used.The maximum score is 140.
