ABSTRACT
| Background of the study: Stroke (CVA) is a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to disturbance caused by an interruption of the blood flow to the brain. The aim of the study is to compare a combination of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program versus Conventional Therapy on arm and hand functions on sub acute stroke. Methods: This is aQuasi experimental study. Sampling of 30 subjects of age >40years of both sexes are selected from the JKKMMRF College of Physiotherapy. Group A of 15 subjects receives combination of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program, Group B of 15 subjects receives Conventional Therapy. Pre and post intervention were assessed by Fugl Meyer Assessment scale and Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory. Result: Group A sub acute stroke patients included in the study completed the 15 sessions of combination of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program they were re-evaluated at the six- month follow-up. The significant P value is less than 0.0001 which is extremely significant. Conclusion: we conclude that the combination of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program has improvement of arm and hand functions on sub acute stroke. |
