Abstract
Background & Purpose: Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in India with a prevalence of 200/1 lakh population. More than 80% of stroke patients have difficulties in ambulation and daily life activities decreasing the quality of life. Community dwelling stroke survivors have high risk of fall owing to the abnormal gait pattern. There is increased fatigue and low performance due to the neuromusculoskeletal abnormalities. This study aims to find out the prevalence of post stroke complications like quality of life, gait characteristics & fatigue in geographical region of Odisha. Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted in various hospitals in Cuttack & Khordha districts of Odisha. Two hundred stroke patients, 140 males & 60 females were included in the study. Video analysis was done using a normal videography camera. Stroke specific-QOL(SSQOL) was used to determine the quality of life, on observational gait analysis (OGA- Videography) to find out the gait abnormalities & Fatigue severity scale (FSS) to assess the level of fatigue. Results: 85% patients showed reduced ankle dorsiflexion and 70% patients showed reduced knee flexion in swing phase. 85% patients showed disturbances in mood & personality & around 95% people showed fatigue following low intensity exercise. Conclusion: The results of this study showed a prevalence of 84.6 % post stroke complications in stroke survivors of Odisha
