Summary

Stroke a devastating neurological condition, causing severe neurological challenges such as balance issues, motor function and cognitive deficits among survivors and can cause disability and death.

This study aims to investigate the combined effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery Techniques with Routine Physical Therapy in patients with post stroke patients.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual Reality technique + Motor Imagery technique + Routine Physical Therapy

Routine physical therapy for 30 minutes is explained as: warm up for 10 mins, stretching of lower limb and upper limb for 10 min, task specific training, gait training and balance training exercises for 15min, strengthening exercises for 10 min

OTHER

Virtual Reality + Routine Physical Therapy

Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes. VR techniques for 10-15 minutes The first eight weeks focus on simple activities to enhance balance and motor function, such as tennis, boxing, bowling, kicking, soccer, table tilt, penguin slide, tilt city, single-leg extension, and torso twist. Exercise difficulty is adjusted based on performance, gradually progressing from easier to more challenging activities.

OTHER

Motor Imagery +Routine Physical Therapy

Routine physical therapy protocol will be given for 30 minutes along with Cycling and walking for 10-15 minutes MI techniques for 10-15 minutes The motor imagery program me will be performed in three steps; STEP I: The patients will watch the videos recorded by the examiner. STEP II: The patients will be asked to close their eyes, focus, and imagine how they are doing the task they had previously observed ten times. Step III: The patient will be asked to attempt the activity with his affected limbs according to the verbal command of the examiner Routine physical therapy for 30 minutes is explained as: warm up for 10 mins, stretching of lower limb and upper limb for 10 min, task specific training, gait training and balance training exercises for 15min, strengthening exercises for 10 min.
