Efficacy Of Reactive Balance Training In Improving Balance And Quality Of Life In Post Stroke Patients

Background: Stroke survivors frequently have diminished quality of life and balance issues, which raises their risk of falling and reduces their functional independence. A new method that focuses on reactive postural control is called reactive balance training (RBT). This is essential for preventing falls. Methods: Participants with chronic stroke will be assigned RBT . Participants will complete 1 hour of exercise, three times/week for 4 weeks. The primary objective is to determine the effects of RBT on balance control and balance confidence. We expect that RBT improves balance control and balance confidence. Result: All 30 individuals in the research finished the pre- and post-assessments as well as the 4-week Reactive Balance Training (RBT) intervention. Improved postural control and functional balance were shown by the mean Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, which rose from 31.6 ± 4.2 (pre-intervention) to 44.8 ± 3.9 (post-intervention). Likewise, there was a noticeable improvement in the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). After the intervention, the overall mean score increased from 52.3 ± 6.1 to 69.7 ± 5.4. Conclusion: Reactive Balance Training (RBT) enhances quality of life and balance in stroke patients in an effective way. Participants achieved notable improvements after 4 weeks, indicating the efficacy of RBT in conventional stroke rehabilitation programs.

The primary objective is to determine the effects of RBT on balance control and balance confidence. We expect that RBT improves balance control and balance confidence. Result: All 30 individuals in the research finished the pre- and post-assessments as well as the 4-week Reactive Balance Training (RBT) intervention.
