Abstract

Objective: To find out whether the Swiss ball exercises or sit to stand balance training exercise is better to improve balance and functional independency in hemiplegic patients.

Method: A comparative study was done with 40 hemiplegic patients of age between 45 to 55 years with first time hemorrhagic stroke diagnosed middle cerebral artery involvement not more than of 3 months along with mini mental status examination score greater than 24/30 and Brunnstrom recovery stage grading 2 to 4. They were divided into 2 groups by convenient sampling method. Patients in group A (n=20) were given conventional treatment along with Swiss ball exercises and Patient in group B (n=20) were given conventional treatment along with sit to stand balance training exercise. Treatment was given for 3 days a week for a total of 6 weeks with 60 min per session. The outcome was measured by Berg Balance Scale and Functional Independence Measure.

Conclusion: The result of the study showed that exercise on Swiss ball and sit to stand balance training exercise both improve the balance and functional independence but statistically Swiss ball training give more significant improvement in improving balance and functional independence in stroke patient.
