An interventional study of Local Plantar vibrator and Otago exercise in Balance Disorders, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to male participants aged 65 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-21.

This study aims to determine effect of Plantar vibration and Otago exercise on risk of fall and quality of life in hemiplegic elderly
Stroke is one of the major causes of permanent disability. Stroke can have many causes and occurs mainly in old age, Hemiplegic patients have a two-fold higher risk of falling than other patients of the same age or gender, beside fall in older adults can cause significant physical and psychological injury to the individual. Otago exercises are the interventions given for fall prevention in elderly and showed good results with hemiplegic cases as well, it is easy and could be done by old adults even at home. Plantar vibration as a cheap, portable, and easy applicable, saving time and with no effort could be a good choice as a treatment tool to be added for old hemiplegic patients treatment programme. Thus applying an easy and effective programme for old hemiplegic subjects that reduces their risk of fall and improves their balance and ADL and at the same time helps them to conduct it easily and adhere to it should be our target to full fill.

Berg balance scale
It is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Time frame: Through 12 weeks
Time up and go test
The participant was instructed to sit back in the chair without arms, to stand up on the command "Go," walk 3 m to the line marked on the floor at a normal pace, turn 180°, and walk back to the chair, and sit down again on the chair,An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the TUG is at risk for falling.
Time frame: Through 12 weeks
Stroke specific quality of life scale
It is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) specific to patients with stroke.Patients must respond to each question of the SS-QOL with reference to the past week. It is a self-report scale containing 49 items in 12 domains.Higher scores indicate better functioning.
Time frame: Through 12 weeks
Modified barthel index
It is composed of the following 10 items investigating 10 functional ADLs: feeding, personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, chair-bed transfer, toileting, bladder continence, bowel continence, ambulation or wheelchair use, and stair climbing. The score for each item is attributed by the clinician who observes the patient while performing the functional task and evaluates the amount of assistance the patient requires using a 5-point Likert scale.Each activity is assigned a score from 0 to 15, indicating the patient's level of independence.Higher scores signify greater independence, while lower scores indicate dependence or the need for assistance.
Time frame: Though 12 weeks
Ankle PROM
The 90° was defined as the neutral position for the measurements using an ankle biplane goniometer Ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion from the neutral position was given either a positive or negative value
Time frame: Though 12 weeks
