Objective: To determine if the group based taskoriented
training would promote better balance
and ambulation than in the form of individual
therapy session of the same tasks and can be
replaced by the usual individual based treatment
in sub-acute stroke.
Conclusion: Even the simpler form of group
based or class based task oriented circuit training
is equally effective in improving the balance and
the walking ability, walking competency, walking
endurance as the individual based task oriented
circuit training. The group based treatment can be
more efficient way of delivery of rehabilitation to a
large number of patients and can be incorporated
into the everyday practice. (Rawal Med J
202;45:233-235).
Results: All primary outcome measure were
found to be equally improved in the two groups.
But within group analyses showed improvement in
the variables among two groups. The scores for
berg balance scale, motor assessment scale, and
dynamic gait index were at a similar level before
and after the interventions.
