Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

NIH Stroke Scale - NIHSS

It comprises of 15 items with each having responses scored on a 0-4 points scale. The overall score ranges from 0-42 points with higher scores specifying pronounced neurological deficits

Time frame: 2,4,8 week

Mini-mental state examination

Cognitive status by the mini-mental state examination (mmse)Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a tool that can quickly diagnose if a person suffers from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) through answering questions in different cognitive domains. The MMSE demonstrates moderately high levels of reliability. It has been reported to be internally consistent

Time frame: 2,4,8 week

POMA

After interventions POMA for assessing risk of fall will be used. The POMA is used to examine balance and mobility in the elderly (Tinetti 1986). This examination tool consists of the balance subscale (9 items, 16 points) and gait subscale (8 items, 12 points), totaling 28 points.

Time frame: 2,4,8 week

Berg balance scale

A five-point scale, ranging from 0-4. "0" indicates the lowest level of function and "4" the highest level of function. Total Score = 0-56. Score of 41-56 = low fall risk, 21-40 = medium fall risk, 0-20 = high fall risk.

Time frame: 2,4,8 week

10 Meter walk test / 10mwt

Calculating Gait Speed - total distance/time. For example: if you did a 10-meter gait speed test and it took you 7 seconds, the equation would like: 10 meters / 7 seconds = 1.4 meters per second. The 10MWT intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were good (ICC between 0.76 until 0.9) and excellent (ICC \> 0.9), respectively. The minimal detectable change for intra-rater reliability was 0.188 m/s.

Time frame: 2,4,8 week
