Comparative Analysis of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Task -Oriented Training to Improve Balance for Stroke Survivors
Abstract:
Cerebrovascular accidents otherwise widely known
as stroke is a global causative factor for mortality and morbidity. Strokes impact around 13.7 million individuals in India, making them the
second leading cause of death and likely the most common reason for disability. The
main aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive
Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and
Task-Oriented Training (TOT) to improve
balance for stroke survivors. Total of 90
participants based on inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria will be
selected. 90 participants should be divided into PNF and TOT as 45 participants
in each group. Treatment duration will be for PNF group as 15 times repetitions
with 3 sets and for TOT group as 10 times repetitions with 3sets. Outcome will
be measured by (BBS) Berg Balance Scale and (PASS) Postural Assessment Stroke
Scale. Descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to tabulate and evaluate the collected data, apply the
mean and standard deviation (SD) to all parameters, and use the t test to
analyze significant differences between pre-test and post-test measures of the
same group. The results indicate that findings are deemed statistically
significant when the p-value is less than 0.0001. In this study the
positive impact of 8 weeks of regular task-oriented training and proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation for improved balance was observed. The berg balance
scale and postural assessment stroke were used in this study to compare the
effectiveness of task-oriented training and proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation in patients with stroke survivors.
