About this study

Official title: Effect of Gait Training With Auditory Stimuli on Dynamic Balance, Gait and Functional Independence in Chronic Stroke

To determine the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence on chronic stroke.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli using a smart phone metronome application on dynamic balance, gait and functional abilities of chronic stroke patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • conventional gait trainingOther

    Also called Gait training with auditory stimuli

    The experimental group received circuit gait training with auditory stimuli using a smartphone metronome application. The training program consisted of eight different activities i.e. tandem walk, one-leg standing, military march, sitting up and forward walk, lateral walk, kicking a ball towards the wall, walking on a set pattern and obstacle walk .Patient will practice each task for 3-4 mints and three times per week.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Berg balance scale

    To identify the effect of treatment on dynamic balance. The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point ordinal scale , ramging from 0-4 ..0 means unable to sit without support .4 means able to sit independently.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Barthel index

    it is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in the domain of personal care and mobility.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Gait speed

    it is the time one takes to walk a specific distance on level surface over a short distance. A distance of 3 to 10 meters is measured over a level surface with 2 meters acceleration and 2 meter for decleration

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. POMA

    It evaluates dynamic balance and walking patters.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional gait training in people with Stroke, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Berg balance scale (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05751161, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2023.
