Study’s Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the movement of sit-to-stand (STS) on functional independence and disability in sub-acute and chronic stroke survivors.
Methodology: The study design was comparative cross-sectional. 30 patients of stroke were recruited in this study and divided into two groups: sub-acute and chronic stroke. Participants were recruited on the base of inclusion criteria and functional assessment protocol. Data was collected from DHQ Hospital, Layyah. Both subjective and objective assessments were conducted using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Disability Index Scale, Functional Status Questionnaire, and Functional Independence Measure. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis.
Findings: The mean age of participants was 49.07 ± 7.15 years, males were 43.33% and females were 56.67%. Ischemic stroke was 53.3 % and hemorrhagic was 46.7 %. MMSE scores were 22.73±2.21 for the sub-acute group and 27.33±1.83 for the chronic group. Disability Index Scale scores were 72±9.01 for sub-acute and 60.60±6.4 for chronic stroke survivors. Functional Independence Measure scores were 58.40±7.51 in the sub-acute group and 75.02±5.17 in the chronic group. The Functional Status Questionnaire was 65.60±6.97 for sub-acute and 72.20±2.97 for chronic stroke patients.
Conclusion: The sit-to-stand (STS) pattern was better in chronic stroke survivors compared to sub-acute survivors, indicating greater functional independence and lower disability in the chronic group.
