Sprinter vs Skater Coordination Synergy Training for Balance and Coordination in Chronic Stroke

This study compares two types of coordinative locomotor training - the sprinter coordination synergy and the skater coordination synergy - to improve balance and coordination in people with chronic stroke (more than six months after stroke). Twenty two participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sprinter-based or skater-based training for 30 minutes per session, three times per week, for four weeks. Balance will be measured using the Berg Balance Scale and Functional Reach Test. Coordination and functional mobility will be measured using the Timed Up and Go test. This study aims to determine which coordination synergy produces greater improvements, which may help physiotherapists choose more effective treatments for stroke survivors in Pakistan.
