Effect of HABIT-ILE on Balance and Coordination Among Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Strokes frequently affect motor function, balance, and coordination, reducing independence. HABIT-ILE combines upper and lower limb exercises to improve coordination and balance. Objective To determine the effectiveness of HABIT-ILE on balance and coordination among stroke patients. we used randomized controlled trails (two-arm parallel design) on 44 people who were allocated evenly into two groups using purposive sampling. The Berg Balance Scale, Finger-to-Nose Test, and 6-Minute Walk Test were administered during a six-month period at HHRD Center, Mansehra. Data was analyzed using SPSS 25 with repeated measures ANOVA and the Shapiro-Wilk test to ensure normality

Interventions
Lower Extremity HABIT-ILE GROUP A
Hand Arm Bimanual intensive therapy including lower extremity (HABIT-ILE) is among the few neuro-rehabilitation treatments that specifically target UE and LE (19) This method uses concepts from motor skill learning in intensive training; it calls for postural control and continuous stimulation of UE and LE through various activities that are done continuously, progressively more difficult, for two hours every day for three weeks in group therapy (20) It is suggested that participants engage in structured tasks that gradually increase in motor complexity based on their development. Similarly, it involves postural and/or locomotor movements as well as functional tasks that call for the simultaneous use of both hands. (21) A variety of exercises that test the patient's ability to utilize their lower extremities to carry out daily duties are usually included in the rehabilitation program
group B Conventional treatment ( Conventional Treatment
Conventional physical therapy intervention The conventional physical therapy intervention included 5 minutes of range of motion, 10 minutes of stretching, 10 minutes of strengthening, and 5 minutes of muscle relaxation in each 30-minute session. Stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak muscles were the main focus of each session.
