Efficacy Of Reactive Balance Training In Improving Balance And Quality Of Life In Post Stroke Patients

Abstract

Background:  Stroke survivors frequently have diminished quality of life and balance issues, which raises their risk of falling and reduces their functional independence. A new method that focuses on reactive postural control is called reactive balance training (RBT). This is essential for preventing falls.

Methods: Participants with chronic stroke will be assigned RBT  . Participants will complete 1 hour of exercise, three times/week for 4 weeks. The primary objective is to determine the effects of RBT on balance control and balance confidence. We expect that RBT improves balance control and balance confidence.

Result: All 30 individuals in the research finished the pre- and post-assessments as well as the 4-week Reactive Balance Training (RBT) intervention. Improved postural control and functional balance were shown by the mean Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, which rose from 31.6 ± 4.2 (pre-intervention) to 44.8 ± 3.9 (post-intervention). Likewise, there was a noticeable improvement in the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). After the intervention, the overall mean score increased from 52.3 ± 6.1 to 69.7 ± 5.4.

Conclusion: Reactive Balance Training (RBT) enhances quality of life and balance in stroke patients in an effective way. Participants achieved notable improvements after 4 weeks, indicating the efficacy of RBT in conventional stroke rehabilitation programs.
