Comparison Between the Efficacy of CIMT and NDT Along With Conventional Physiotherapy Treatment on Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Among Patients of Stroke

Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences10 enrolled

Overview

To compare the efficacy of CIMT and NDT among stroke patients To study the phenomena of transfer of training To study relationship between the MMSE score and stroke rehabilitation

This research aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of CIMT and NDT, supplemented by conventional physiotherapy, in the rehabilitation of upper extremity function among stroke patients. The findings will inform clinical practice, guiding the development of optimized, patient-centered rehabilitation strategies.

Constraint-induced movement therapyOTHER

is a rehabilitation technique used to improve motor function in people who have had a stroke or other neurological conditions. CIMT restricts the use of the unaffected limb, typically with a mitt or sling, to encourage the use of the affected limb.

Neurodevelopmental TreatmentOTHER

Therapy, is a rehabilitation approach used to address movement and motor control deficits in people with neurological illnesses such as stroke, cerebral palsy, or traumatic brain injury.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

upper extremity rehabilitation

The Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) by Carr and Shepherd is a clinical tool used to evaluate upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients. It assesses motor recovery through eight items, each reflecting daily activities, scored on a 7-point scale from 0 (unable to perform) to 6 (optimal performance). For upper extremity assessment, the MAS includes tasks like hand movements (grasping, releasing, manipulating objects), advanced hand activities (fine motor skills such as writing or buttoning a shirt), and upper arm function (reaching, lifting, placing objects). Patients perform these tasks while clinicians observe and score their performance. The MAS provides a quantitative measure of motor recovery, facilitating progress tracking, goal setting, and personalized therapy interventions, making it a reliable and straightforward tool for capturing functional changes in stroke patients.
