- Original description
Chronic stroke causes moderate to severe impairments in proprioception, balance, and motor functions, which can impact upon an individual's ability to perform activities of daily living, leading to reduced quality of life and increased dependency. Proprioception, or detecting the body's position in open space, is important for balance and coordinated movement. One therapy uses traditional rehabilitation methods like Bobath theory to increase motor functions, aiming to utilize sensory and movement facilitation. Nonetheless, combining sensory and Bobath therapy could lead to superior outcomes by simultaneously addressing both the proprioceptive deficit and motor skills. The purpose of this project is to explore the combined effect of sensory training and Bobath therapy on proprioception, balance, andmotor function in chronic stroke survivors.Read full original descriptionShow less
