What this Trial Is About
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of task-specific training with and without biofeedback compared to conventional physical therapy on balance and fall risk in chronic ischemic stroke patients in Lahore, Pakistan. Sixty-six participants will be randomly allocated into three groups: Group 1 (task-specific training with biofeedback), Group 2 (task-specific training without biofeedback), and Group 3 (conventional physical therapy). The intervention will span 12 weeks, consisting of 36 sessions. Key outcome measures include the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, and the Barthel Index. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. The study hypothesizes that the use of biofeedback in task-specific training will produce significantly greater improvements in balance and reduced fall risk compared to conventional rehabilitation strategies. The study is being conducted at Shadman Medical Center in Lahore and is part of a PhD project from Lincoln University College.
