Abstract
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.
