effect of virtual reality on mobility in stroke in comparison with task oriented training P: Stroke I: Virtual reality training O= mobility C- task oriented training

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of additional virtual reality on mobility, physical performance, balance and gait performance after stroke. The chronic stroke (more than 03month), either type and able to stand for 10 seconds will be included while patients having cognitive impairment and other pathologies will be excluded from study. The sample will be taken from physiotherapy department of Railway hospital Rawalpindi. The 60 patients will be enrolled and then randomly assigned through sealed envelope method into two groups. Virtual reality groups and task oriented training. The additional 15-20 minutes session will be provided to one group while both groups will receive task oriented training. The three games including the river rush, water leaks and reflex ridge will be provided to virtual reality group. The 03 days per week for 08 weeks training will be provided to both groups. The initial assessment will be recorded at baseline then after every 02 weeks till 08 weeks. The standardized assessment tool include Fugl-Meyer assessment for lower extremity, berg balance scale, timed up and go test, dynamic gait index and stroke specific quality of life tool will be used to analyses.
