Summary

Stroke is ranked as the number fifth cause of death and a main cause of disability in the United States. It affects the arteries which supply blood to and within the brain. If the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, it will not be able to receive oxygen and the nutrients which are transported by those arteries. This leads to the death of brain cells having a magnificent effect on the function of that part.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Task orientated strengthening training

1. Standing and reaching in different directions for objects located beyond arm's length to promote loading of the lower limbs and activation of lower limb muscles; 2. Sit-to-stand from various chair heights to strengthen the lower limb extensor muscles; 3. Stepping forward and backward onto blocks of various heights to strengthen the lower limb muscles; 4. Stepping sideways onto blocks of various heights to strengthen the lower limb muscles; 5. forward step-up onto blocks of various heights to strengthen the lower limb muscles; 6. heel(s) raise and lower while maintaining in a standing posture to strengthen the plantar- flexor muscles. Each workstation was 5 min in duration for each exercise class. Each subject participated in a one-to-one therapy.

OTHER

Balance training exercises

1. Stepping forward, backward, and sideways on the exercise step; 2. Stepping over blocks of various heights; 3. Standing up from a chair, walking four steps forward, performing a bilateral stool touch and walking backwards to the chair; 4. Standing up from a chair, walking four steps forward, turning to the right, stepping over the exercise step, turning to the right again and walking forwards to the chair (repeat the exercise circuit in opposite direction); 5. From a sitting position on a 65-cm Swiss ball, performing a range of motion and balance exercises (forward and backward rolling of the 6. Arms; bending the trunk forward and side to side); 7. Performing double-legged stance for 10 s; 8. Performing tandem stance for 10 s; 9. Rising from a chair without the use of the arms; 10. Walking forward and backward with a tandem walking pattern (toes of one foot touching the heel of the foot in front); 11. Performing single- legged stance for 10 s.
