Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Perturbation based balance training (PBBT) therapy   PBBT therapy will be administered for 30 minutes in addition to 15 minutes of standard therapy consisting one session, once a day for 5 days in a week continue until four weeks of therapy.  
Comparator Agent  Standard Usual therapy  1. Slow stretching for spastic tone and quick stretching for flaccid tone in lower limb. 2. Transitional movement practice like bed mobility, wheelchair transferring. 3. Lying to sitting practice. 4. Static and dynamic sitting balance practice like reaching practice, retrieving object from floor. 5. Selective movement and coordination practice like Frankle exercise. 6. Rood approach for sensory stimulation. Every treatment will be administered 10 rep x 1 set for 45 minutes of each session, once a day for 5 days a week will continue until four weeks.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is a sort of exercise in which participants frequently lose their equilibrium in order to learn and improve balance reaction control. It differs from other balancing training programs in that it focuses on improving reactive balance control in order to avoid a fall after a balance failure in real life. PBT has been proven in studies to increase voluntary movement speed and control, improve fast balancing reflexes, and reduce the occurrence of falls. 

As in Bangladesh, CRP has the facility to rehabilitate the people living with Stroke for a prolonged period, there is scope to introduce perturbation-based balance training in individualized structures for People with Stroke. The scope of practicing PBBT is fitted with the cultural context and organizational policy of CRP. The study results may help guide the physiotherapist and will give valuable information about stroke survivors’ functional and disability status, which will be beneficial for both stroke survivors and for developing the platform of the physiotherapy profession. The study is intended to elicit the effectiveness of PBBT on lower limb functional recovery in patients with sub-acute stroke.
