Neuropilates and Otago Exercises on Balance, Posture and Functional Independence in Chronic Stroke

Comparative Effects of Neuropilates and Otago Exercises on Balance, Posture and Functional Independence in Individuals With Chronic Stroke

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at various physical therapy clinics of Faisalabad over a six-month period, enrolling a total of 32 participants selected through non probability convenience sampling technique. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: those undergoing Neuropilates and those performing Otago exercises, with each group consisting of 16 individuals. Assessments will utilize the TUG (Timed Up and Go) to evaluate balance, the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) for posture, and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for functional independence. Pre-intervention assessments will establish baseline measures, followed by evaluations at 4 weeks, and post-intervention to track progress. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS 26 software, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of the interventions' effectiveness. The findings from this study will contribute valuable insights for clinicians and rehabilitation specialists, enhancing therapeutic strategies to support chronic stroke patients in regaining their independence.
