A Clinical Trial to Study the Effects of Bobath Therapy With and Without EMG Biofeedback Therapy in Stroke Patients
Comparative Efficacy of EMG Biofeedback Therapy Along With Bobath Therapy and Bobath Therapy Alone on Lower Extremity Functions, Balance and Gait in Patients With Stroke: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 May 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. It has a negative impact on the cognitive and sensorimotor functions. Motor recovery becomes essential in rehabilitation phase to make the patient independent in activities of daily living along with improved lower extremity function, balance and gait. Studies show that both EMG Biofeedback therapy and Bobath therapy is effective in improving lower extremity function. Out of those studies, to the best of the investigators knowledge, no study has been conducted to find out the efficacy of EMG Biofeedback therapy along with Bobath therapy on lower extremity functions, balance and gait in stroke patients. Therefore the purpose of the study is to find out the comparative efficacy of EMG Biofeedback therapy along with Bobath therapy and Bobath therapy alone on lower extremity functions, balance and gait in patients with stroke.
