Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized clinical trial was performed on hemiplegic post-stroke patients with a sample size of 50 (25 in each group).

Description:

It was a single-blinded study. Mirror therapy was given to group A and music therapy was given to group B. Our findings support the alternate hypothesis. This indicates the small effect size for BBS in group A and the moderate effect size for the gait assessment scale in favor of group A.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	BBS (berg balance scale)	A score of 56 indicates functional balance. A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling. A score of =49 indicates a risk of falls in individuals with stroke.	6 Month
Primary	FGA (functional gait assessment scale)	The normal score on the FGA would be considered >27/30; for adults from ages 60 to 80 years, the normal score on the FGA would be considered >24/30; and for adults over the age of 80 years, the normal score would be considered >19/30	6 Months
