Keywords
Gait, Lower Limb function, Motor imagery
Brief summary
To determine the effects of motor imagery technique on lower limb function among stroke patient. To determine the effects of motor imagery technique on lower limb spasticity among stroke patients. To determine the effects of motor imagery technique on gait among stroke patients. To determine the effects of motor imagery technique on quality of life among stroke patients
Detailed description
Stroke affected the functional capacities and the state of health thus altered quality of life.
Interventions
The patient will sit on chair in a quiet room. The patients will be observing motor performance in video, motor performance video will consist of (1) knee flexion and extension movement, (2) sitting to standing movement, (3) stepping movement, (4) walking, (5) climbing and descending stairs. Addition to motor imagery, the patients will be provided the passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.
OTHERConventional Physical Therapy
It includes passive stretching, ROM exercises, sitting to standing, anteroposterior step, climbing and descending stairs.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Extremity Function scale | 8 weeks | It is 20 items questionnaire, measure the lower extremity function scoring from 1 to 4 for each items, in which minimum score is 0 and maximum score of 80 shows the maximum functional status. It has a valid and reliable tool to measure the lower extremity functional status. |
| Dynamic Gait Index | 8 weeks | It assess gait, balance and fall risk, with 24 is the maximum score, in which 19 or less have been related to increase incidence of falls. It has high reliability and validity in the stroke population. |
| Time Up and Go test | 8 weeks | It assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. Score of less than 10 seconds indicate freely mobile,\<20 seconds mostly independent, 20-29 seconds variable mobility, \>30 seconds Impaired mobility. It is reliable, valid, and easy to administer clinical tool in stroke patients. |
| Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale | 8 Weeks | It is a self-report questionnaire, measure the quality of life in stroke patients consisting of 49 items in the 12 domains. Scoring from 1 to 5 , in which 1 shows strongly agreement and 5 shows strongly disagreement. It is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the quality of life for stroke patients. |
| Modified Ashworth scale | 8 Weeks | It measures the spasticity, ranging from 0 means normal tone to 4 shows increased tone to such extent where passive movement is not possible. It has good intra-rater reliability and validity in stroke patients . |
