Comparative Study Of Effects Of Clinical Pilates Exercise And Square Stepping Exercise In Improving Dynamic Balance After Stroke

Abstract

AIM: newline To compare the effectiveness of Clinical Pilates exercise and Square newlineStepping Exercise in improving dynamic balance after stroke. newlineOBJECTIVE: newline To evaluate dynamic balance by using Timed up and go test and berg newlinebalance scale in individuals with post stroke hemiparesis newline To evaluate the effectiveness of Clinical Pilates exercise (CPE) in newlineimproving dynamic balance in Group A individuals with post stroke newlinehemiparesis newline To evaluate the effectiveness of Square stepping exercise (SSE) in newlineimproving dynamic balance in Group B individuals with post stroke newlinehemiparesis. newline To evaluate comparison between Clinical Pilates exercise (CPE) and newlineSquare stepping exercise (SSE), in improving dynamic balance, newlinebetween Group A and Group B individuals with post stroke newlinehemiparesis. newlineRESULTS: There were significant changes between Pre and Post with p value lt 0.05 newlinewithin Group A and within Group B on analysis with Wilcoxson signed-rank test; p value newlineof Group A were highly significant in comparison to Group B. Mann-Whitney U test newlineidentified the significant differences in satisfaction scores between Group A and Group newlineB. newlineCONCLUSION: The study result showed that Clinical Pilates Exercise is highly newlineeffective, in comparison to Square stepping exercise in improving dynamic balance newlinein Sub-acute stroke cases..
