What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the combined effects of sensory integration and vestibular exercises on dizziness, fall risk, and quality of life in post-stroke patients. A total of 38 participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving both sensory integration and vestibular exercises alongside routine physical therapy, and the other receiving only vestibular exercises with routine physical therapy. Each group will undergo treatment sessions three times a week for six weeks, with data analyzed using SPSS software to assess outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve balance, reduce fall risk, and enhance the quality of life for post-stroke patients.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on the combined approach of sensory integration and vestibular exercises, similar studies have shown positive outcomes with vestibular rehabilitation in stroke patients.
