Abstract

INTRODUCTION CVA is a complex dysfunction caused by a lesion in the brain. The WHO defines stroke as an “acute neurologic dysfunction of vascular origin with symptoms and sign corresponding to the involvement of focal areas of the brain.” In India the cumulative incidence of stroke ranged from 105 152 100000 persons per year, and the crude prevalence of stroke ranged from 44.29 559 100000 persons in different parts of the country during the past decade. DESIGN Pre test Post test experimental group designSETTING Inpatient and outpatient of Department of Occupational Therapy, SV.NIRTAR, Olatpur.PARTICIPANTS A total 45 Subjects were recruited from the Swami Vivekananda National Institute of Rehabilitation Training and Research according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.INTERVENTIONS After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria survivors were assessed using assessment performance, and informed consent was taken from the participants, allocated to the three groups.Group 1 Proprioceptive training alone Group 2 Proprioceptive training along with motor imageryGroup 3 Conventional therapyOUTCOME MEASURES Berg Balance Scale RESULT The study aimed to provide reference data for planning the rehabilitation of stroke patients, by comparing the effects of proprioceptive training with motor imagery and conventional proprioceptive training performed for 8 weeks. Result of the study indicated that there was significant effect of mental imagery and proprioceptive training on balance ability of stroke patients. The changes of the motor imagery training group were better than those of the other 2 groups.CONCLUSION In this clinical trial, our findings suggests significant improvement in balance in sub acute stroke patients when given motor imagery training along with proprioceptive training, conventional therapy and proprioceptive training alone.On the basis of current results, it was also concluded that, the motor imagery training along with proprioceptive training group showed a noticeable better effect on balance than those of other two groups.
