EFFECTIVENESS OF RESTORATIVE APPROACH VERSUS CONVENTIONAL APPROACH ON BALANCE AND GAIT IN SUBJECTS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
The purpose of the study was to find the effectiveness of restorative approach versus conventional approach on balance and gait in subjects with Traumatic Brain Injury. A total of 86 subjects were screened with clinical diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury and randomised into two groups. As per the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS), only individuals with mild to moderate level injury were involved in the study. The subjects in group-A (N=35) received restorative approach while the subjects in group-B (N=35) received conventional approach. Intervention was given to participants for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The Berg Balance Scale for balance(BBS) and Functional Gait Assessment for gait(FGA) were used to assess the intervention’s effectiveness. Independent t-test was used to compare the mean significant difference between continuous variables. Paired t-test was used to assess the statistical significance difference between pre and post test scores. This thesis has provided a transparent overview of an RCT evaluating the efficacy of a goal oriented and conventional approach aiming to ameliorate balance and gait performance in subjects with TBI. The present study concluded that both restorative approach and conventional approach are equally effective in improving balance and gait performance. However restorative approach was more effective when compared to conventional approach in terms of improving balance and reducing gait abnormalities. The preliminary evidence displayed how an individualized treatment approach resulted in high levels of goal attainments among participants in intervention group.
