NCS University System46 enrolled

Overview

This RCT will also help the clinicians to provide the best treatment to their patients for better outcomes. The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of Modified Constraint-induced movement therapy on the Upper Limb function of Sub-acute stroke patients in Peshawar Pakistan. Alternative Hypothesis: There will be a difference in the means of Modified Constraint-induced movement therapyand traditional physical therapy on the upper limb function of subacute stroke patients.

Experimental group will receive Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapyand traditional physical therapy to the impaired upper limb based on the repetitive training of functional activities and behavioral shaping and a task-oriented approach, while the unaffected arm of subjects in the mCIMT group will be constrained by wearing a mitten during the treatment session and for 3 hours/day outside the therapy hours, 6(six) days/week for two weeks by an experienced Physical therapist.The time duration for Group A will be 40 minutes.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Wolf Motor function test

Use mainly for post-stroke patients with impaired upper limb motor ability. The purpose of this test is to enumerate upper limb motor ability through a series of functional tasks. The WMFT is an instrument with high internal consistency, interrater reliability and test-retest reliability. The quality of movement during the task is measured by functional ability scale, a 6-point ordinal scale, where 0 = does not attempt with the impaired arm and 5 = arm movement appear to be normal. Higher the value higher will be the normal function.
