Abstract

When balance impairment and functional disorientation emerge after a stroke, balance incoordination is one of the most common complications. The basic goal of stroke rehabilitation is to improve postural stability. Balance training combined with sensory integration appears to be beneficial. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of task-oriented balance training with and without sensory input on postural stability and balance coordination in stroke patients. A total of 60 stroke patients participated in this randomised control experiment. Both genders with a stroke age of over 40 years, able to stand for at least 5 minutes without assistance, and patients with functional mobility grades of 2, 3, and 4 were included in the study. The Berg Balance Scale was utilised to assess each group, which had 40-minute training sessions three times a week for six weeks. The baseline 3rd week and the last 6th week were used to evaluate the participants. Both groups showed considerable improvement in the Berg Balance Scale after 6 weeks of treatment. The (p=0.004) in the control group, but (p=0.001) in the experimental group. BESS also demonstrated significant development in both the experimental and control groups, with p values (p0.001) for each group. In this study, task-oriented balance training with sensory input showed greater improvement in balance coordination and postural stability in stroke patients than task-oriented balance exercises without sensory integration.
