Effects of Bobath Approach With Core Stability to Improve Balance in Stroke

Background : A stroke occurs when a blood artery bursts or is disrupted, cutting off the brain's blood supply and resulting in cell death in specific brain regions. It is one of the primary causes of long-term functional impairment, which lowers the quality of life for patients and increases their dependence and social isolation. Objective : To determine effects Of Bobath Approach with Core Stability to Improve Balance in Stroke. Methodology: Study design was Randomized Controlled Trial. Sample size was 38 .Simple random sampling technique was utilized . Age 30 – 65 having more than 1 month or less than 6 months onset of stroke were included . Comorbidities like IHD and Rheumatologic disease were excluded.2 group were made. Group A received Bobath approach with core stability training while Group B received Conventional Physical Therapy. Trunk Impairment Scale and Berg Balance Scale were assessment tools .SPSS 25 was used in this study for data analysis. Results: Revealed post-treatment, Group A mean score increased to 17.000±1.374, whereas Group B's mean score increased to 14.421±2.545. The P value for the post-treatment comparison was 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between the groups. For "Standing to Sitting", pre-treatment scores were (P = .589) Post-treatment, showing a significant difference (P = .001) after intervention both group A experimental group an B showed improvement but group A showed more prominent results as compare B to control group . Conclusion: Study concluded intervention bobath approach with core stability had significant improvement on balance among stroke survivors.
