Abstract:
Purpose: To find out the state of standing balance among stroke patient. Objective:
To explore socio-demography information, to assess the ability to perform static and
dynamic standing balance, to identify the risk of fall and to know the information
about relation between the variables. Methodology: Cross sectional study design was
selected for this study. A prospective survey method has been done to accomplish the
research purpose. Total 50 samples were selected as purposive sampling from
Physiotherapy Neurology outdoor patient of Centre for the Rehabilitation of the
Paralysed (CRP). A mixed type of questionnaire was used to collect data and standing
balance was measured by Berg Balance Scale. The data was analyzed through
descriptive statistics by using table, pie chart and bar chart. Result: The data showed
that among 50 participants response rate was 100% and 56% had low fall risk. From
the results it is interpreted that 56% had improved their standing balance after
discharge. Conclusion: This information would assist the professional to justify the
improvement of balance after stroke.
