Effectiveness of single task exercise on improving physical balance among cerebro vascular accident (cva) patients

Objective: The main purpose of the study is to assess the existing level and post test level of physical balance among cerebra vascular accident patients,to evaluate the effectiveness of single task exercise on physical balance among cerebra vascular accident patients and to associatethe effectiveness of single task exercise among cerebro vascular accident patients with their demographic variables. Material and Methods: A pre experimental one group pre test post test design was adopted for the study. A total number of 50 subjects were selected for this study by using purposive sampling technique. All subjects were evaluated by mini mental status examination, modified rankin scale and Tinette Assessment tool followed by intervention was administered for another 4 weeks consecutively. At the end of 4th week, the post test was conducted for the subjects to assess the level of physical balance by tinette assessment tool. Results and conclusion:The results of the study revealed that, In pre test, 48(96%) subjects had high risk of fall and only 1 (2%) subject had moderate and low risk of fall in each respectively but, in the post test,most of the subjects were 34 (68%) had low risk of fall,10(20%) subjects had high risk for fall and only minimum number of subjects 6(12%) had moderate risk of falls.which shows the intervention are effective.Hence this study results proves that the intervention which are administered to improve the physical balance was effective for the subjects with cerebro vascular accident
