Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Berg Balance Scale. Timepoint: Before intervention and after six weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: Berg Balance Scale constitutes 14 different activities. Each item is scored along a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 to 4, each grade with well-established criteria. Zero indicates the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function. The total score ranges from 0 to 56.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The Modified of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS). Timepoint: Before intervention and weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: It consists of a 4-point scale where the items are scored from 0 to 3, and the total scoring ranges from 0 to 36.;Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). Timepoint: Before intervention and weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: The Stroke Specific Quality of Life scale (SS-QOL) is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) specific to patients with stroke. Scoring: each item shall be scored with the following key Total help - Couldn't do it at all - Strongly agree (1), A lot of help - A lot of trouble - Moderately agree (2), Some help - Some trouble - Neither agree nor disagree (3), A little help - A little trouble - Moderately disagree (4) No help needed - No trouble at all - Strongly disagree (5).
