Effects of Unilateral Versus Bilateral Task Specific Training With Visual Feedback in Post Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This study will be a single blinded randomized controlled trail. Non probability convenience sampling will be used to recruit the patients of either gender, aged 40-65 years, patients with the subacute phase (\>3months post stroke) and able to follow the instructions. This study will be carried out in Gulab Devi Hospital and Sahet Medical Complex Lahore. These participants will be randomly allocated to Group A will receive bilateral task specific training with visual feedback, whereas Group B will receive unilateral task specific training with visual feedback. Both group will perform their respective exercises 40 minutes, five days a week for 6weeks. The Participants will be evaluated at the start and end of the exercise program through Berg Balance scale to assess balance, 10 Meter Walk Test to assess gait and Fugl Meyer Assessment of lower extremity to assess sensation. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 27.

Interventions
bilateral task specific training with visual feedback on lower limb
The group will received bilateral task specific training along with visual feedback on lower limb. Bilateral training is used in rehabilitation to promote functional recovery of impaired limbs by engaging both affected and non-affected sides. Task specific training include weight shifting, sit to stand, stepping forward / lateral and bilateral walking over uneven surfaces. Visual feedback will be given by mirrors and visual targets place on the floor. Visual feedback helping patients to improve balance and body awareness, particularly for individuals with sensory or motor impairments following a stroke. Bilateral task specific training with visual feedback will perform for five days per week for six weeks. The participants in this group underwent 40 minutes of bilateral lower limb training. Pre and post intervention values will be recorded to assess the effectiveness
unilateral task specific training with visual feedback on lower limb
This group received unilateral task specific training with visual feedback on affected limb. Task specific training include weight shifting, seated marching, stepping forward / lateral, and walk on uneven surface. Unilateral task specific training with visual feedback will perform for five days per week for six weeks. The participants in this group underwent 40 minutes of unilateral lower limb training. Pre and post intervention values will be recorded to assess the effectiveness.
