Abstract
Background: Hemiplegia secondary to stroke contributes to problems associated with standing and walking.Hemiplegic patients suffer from poor balance, slow walking, and weak muscles. Shoe modification and foot orthosescan play an important role in the nonsurgical management of foot and ankle pathology. Therapeutic footwear maybe used to treat patients with diabetes, arthritis, neurologic conditions, traumatic injuries, congenital deformities,and sports-related injuries. These modalities may improve patient gait and increase the level of ambulation.Aims and objectives of the study: To analyse the effect of modified shoe with motor relearning programme onTimed Up and Go test values and gait parameters of chronic stroke patients.Data Analysis and Results: Pre intervention values of Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and gait parameters werehomogenous between control and experimental groups with p≥0.05 and post intervention values of TUG and gaitparameters were statistically significant improvement in experimental group where shoe modification with motorrelearning program with p≤0.05Conclusion: It was concluded that Modified Shoe with Motor Relearning Programme had statistically significantimprovement in the Timed Up and Go
