Brief Summary

Study was conducted Effectiveness of Motor Relearning Programme and Mirror Therapy along with Conventional Physiotherapy treatment for improving Hand Function In Patients with stroke. study was an experimental study conducted on 12 stroke patients using convenient sampling method .Subjects were divided into two equal groups (n=6). Group A was given conventional physiotherapy and Motor Relearning Programme exercises for the affected hand and Group B received conventional physiotherapy for the affected hand and mirror therapy for the unaffected hand. Chedoke arm and hand inventory (CAHAI) was used as primary outcome measure for evaluation of hand function before and after application of therapeutic Intervention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory (CAHAI)

    CAHAI scale is designed to encourage the bilateral hand to complete the task. Patient was made to seat in chair without arm rest and encouraging erect posture with elbows at the edge of the table and hands resting on the table. Each task was demonstrated once before performance, and then the Score was evaluated of the affected upper extremity using the 7 point activity scale from total assistance (1) to complete independence.

    4 WEEKS

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • MODIFIED ASHWSORTH SCALE

    4 WEEKS

Study Arms (2)

GROUP A

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects in Group A received MRP exercises for training of Wrist Extensors, Extension of wrist and holding objects, training of supination of forearm, opposition of thumb, cupping of hand and training of manipulation of the objects.

Device: motor relearning programme

GROUP B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B received Mirror therapy in which patient was seated close to the table in front of mirror (35x35 cm). The involved hand was placed behind the mirror. : the practice consisted of intransitive exercises as Hand opening, Wrist extension and flexion, Forearm pronation and supination, Hand sliding on a flat surface. During the session patient were asked to try to do the same movement with the paretic hand while they were moving the non-paretic hand.In both the groups total treatment was given for 1 hour/day for 6 days/week
