Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of the study This study will be conducted to investigate any significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension.

Description:

PURPOSE:

This study will be conducted to investigate any significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension.

BACKGROUND:

The most recent global estimates suggested that hypertension (HTN) affected 1.13 billion people worldwide.

Raised blood pressure (BP) has emerged as the most important risk factor for global morbidity and mortality.

Hypertensive individuals present slower processing speed, reduced static and dynamic balance, decreased functional mobility during both single and dual tasking and higher fear of falling in comparison to normotensive individuals. These findings expand the body of knowledge about the effects of HTN on physical functions like prolonged processing time, disturbed balance and reduced mobility functions, which may guide clinicians in including preventive and rehabilitative strategies to their therapy protocols in order to improve the quality of life of the individuals with HTN.

HYPOTHESES:

Null Hypothesis: there will be no significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Will be any significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension?

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Postural control by Biodex Balance System	The overall stability index (OSI), anteroposterior stability index (APSI), and mediolateral stability index (MLSI) are recorded with a Biodex Balance System, Postural stability test will be performed in the double leg standing position and in the single leg standing position on the right and left legs	8 weeks
Primary	balance by The Modified star excursion balance test (mSEBT)	• Patients will perform testing while barefoot, maintaining their hands on their hips and a series of single-limb squats using the non-stance limb to touch a point a maximum distance along designated lines on the ground	8 weeks
Primary	dynamic balance and functional mobility by Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUG)	It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning	8 weeks
Secondary	Sleep quality: using The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)	It is used to determine self-reported sleep quality and sleep disturbances for the preceding month.; It is a 19-item test and consists of seven components: (1) subjective sleep quality, (2) sleep latency, (3) sleep duration, (4) sleep efficiency, (5) sleep disturbance, (6) sleeping medication use and (7) daytime dysfunction.	8 weeks
Secondary	Quality of life: using The 12 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) Questionnaire	• The SF-12 consists of 12 questions that examine eight different health domains in order to determine physical and mental health. General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP) are the physical health domains. Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH) are mental health-related scales	8 weeks
