Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence on chronic stroke.

Description:

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli using a smart phone metronome application on dynamic balance, gait and functional abilities of chronic stroke patients.

Intervention

Other:
• conventional gait training
The experimental group received circuit gait training with auditory stimuli using a smartphone metronome application. The training program consisted of eight different activities i.e. tandem walk, one-leg standing, military march, sitting up and forward walk, lateral walk, kicking a ball towards the wall, walking on a set pattern and obstacle walk .Patient will practice each task for 3-4 mints and three times per week.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Berg balance scale	To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.	6 weeks
Secondary	Barthel index	it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.	6 weeks
Secondary	Gait speed	it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration	6 weeks
Secondary	POMA	It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.	6 weeks
