Effects Of Functional Action Observation With Auditory Cueing In Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This study aims to determine the effects of functional action observation therapy with and without rhythmic auditory cueing on balance and gait in patients with stroke. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Ittefaq Hospital Trust, Lahore and Alara Healthcare Clinic. The sample size will be 40. The non-probability convenience sampling methodology will be used to select participants who match the inclusion criteria and the online randomization will be used to further randomize them.Participants will be divided into 2 groups, 20 patients in clinical group and 20 patients in experimental group. While the clinical group will receive traditional therapy, the experimental group will receive Funtional Action Observation Therapy with auditory cueing. For four weeks, the subjects underwent 30 minutes of FAO or general action observation (GAO) instruction five times a week. The outcome measures will include assessments of balance and gait using Berg Balance Scale and Functional Gait Assessment. Assessments will be conducted on patients both before and after the intervention to identify any notable variations in their gait and balance

Functional Action Observation Therapy
Group A will receive a session of Functional Action Observation Therapy. Treatment session will be given 30 mins starting with 5 mins warm up and ending with 5 mins cool down. During 30 mins exercise participant will watch videos of functional activities for 15 min and then perform those activities for 15 mins with 30 secs rest after every activity
Functional Action Observation Therapy with rhythmic auditory stimulation group
Group B will receive a session of Functional Action Observation Therapy with rhythmic auditory cueing. Treatment session will be given 30 mins starting with 5 mins warm up and ending with 5 mins cool down. During 30 mins exercise participant will watch videos of functional activities with rhythmic auditory cueing for 15 min and then perform those activities for 15 mins with 30 secs rest after every activity.
