Effect of Specific Coordination Exercises on Coordination Disability in Patients with Pyramidal Lesions

Abstract

Background: Co-ordination is the ability to control the movements of your body properly or it is the ability to execute smooth, accurate, controlled movements. The goal of this research is to design the specific co-ordination exercises on co-ordination disability in patients with pyramidal lesion.

Objectives: To identify and design coordination exercises that target the unique challenges posed by pyramidal impairments and to assess the effectiveness of the identified coordination exercises in improving coordination disabilities in patients with pyramidal lesion.

Methods: 115 subjects between 30 to 70 years old with coordination disability in pyramidal lesion were randomly taken and designed exercises protocol was implemented on them for 4 weeks 5 times a week for 45 minutes session. Assessments were made both before and after treatment by Berg Balance scale and SARA Scale.

Result:  Non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to test Berg Balance score before and after intervention patients with pyramidal lesions. It was found that Mean Berg Balance score of patients before intervention was 22.31 and Mean Berg Balance score of patients following intervention, there was 34.72. So, mean Berg Balance score following the intervention was noticeably greater than mean Berg Balance score prior to intervention (p< 0.05). To test SARA score before and after intervention. It was found that Mean SARA score of patients before intervention was 28.57 and Mean SARA score of patients following intervention, there was 19.87. So, mean SARA score following the intervention was noticeably lower than mean SARA score prior to intervention (p< 0.05).

Conclusion:  According to the results, the mean Berg Balance score prior to intervention was lower than the Berg Balance score after intervention. The mean SARA score before and after the intervention were clearly higher, respectively. As a result, using a specific coordination exercise routine aid in improving participants' balance and coordination impairments caused by pyramidal lesions.
