What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of Otago exercises and Gaze Stabilization exercises on balance, walking ability, and quality of life in elderly patients who have experienced a stroke. This randomized clinical trial aims to compare these two exercise approaches in stroke patients aged 50 to 70 years, focusing on improving mobility and life quality after stroke. The study is conducted by recruiting 46 patients from rehabilitation centers and hospitals in Lahore. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A receives Gaze Stabilization Exercises along with their usual treatment, while Group B receives Otago Exercises with conventional baseline treatment. Each session lasts 40 minutes and takes place five days a week over eight weeks. These exercises aim to support balance and gait improvements during rehabilitation. During the study, researchers will assess participants using tools like the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life questionnaire over a 10-month period. The study involves regular monitoring of balance, walking ability, and quality of life. Data will be analyzed to understand the impact of each exercise program on stroke recovery. Participants will be involved in assessments and treatment sessions throughout the study duration.
