ABSTRACT
| Background of the Study: Stroke is also commonly called a Cerebrovascular accident which is not a term Preferred by most stroke neurologists. Stroke is NOT an accident. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a strategy that maximizes exercise Intensity by using bursts of concentrated effort alternated with recovery periods. Its Effectiveness remains to be demonstrated after stroke. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of High Intensity Interval Training over progressive resistance training on lower limb function in MCA Stroke. The Comparative effect of High Intensity Interval Training over progressive resistance Training on lower limb function in MCA stroke. Methodology: This was an experimental study of comparative pre and post type with 30 subjects. MCA stroke patient. Both the male and female were included, Patients with stroke of age group 45-65 yrs, were included in the study. The group A [High intensity interval training] consisted of 15 subject s group B, with progressive resistance exercise] consisted of 15 subjects. The Modified Ashworth scale, Berg Balance scale, Lower Extremity functional scale and Coordination test for brain injury were used as the outcome measure. Outcome Measures are Balance, Lower limb function, muscle tone, coordination. Measurement tool are Berg balance scale, Lower extremity functional scale, Modified Asworth scale, Coordination test for brain injury Result: The comparative effect of Group A over Group B on MAS, BBS, LEFS and CTFBI shows significant difference on Post Test of MAS, BBS, LEFS and CTFBI with P value <0.0001. Group A intervention found more effective over Group B intervention on MAS, BBS, LEFS and CTFBI with mean score difference of 0.83, 14.60, 16.67 and 14.60 over 0.73, 8.87, 10.73 and 5.33 respectively. Conclusion: The study concluded that the High intensity interval training is more effective than the progressive resistance training in improving lower limb function independence in MCA stoke. |
