Comparison of PNF and Task Related Techniques Along with Tens on Upper Limb Function Among Stroke Patients

Conditions

Stroke

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Task Related Techniques Along With Tens on Upper Limb Function Among Stroke Patients

  The duration of a TRT session Will be 60 min. Each session started with warm-up exercises for 10 min followed by 50 min of TRT. Modified ashworth scale (mas) Box and block test

  6 Months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• PNF Techniques Along With Tens on Upper Limb Function Among Stroke Patients

  6 Months

Study Arms (2)

PNF GROUP

EXPERIMENTAL

PNF exercise twice daily five days per week for 8 weeks. D1 and D2 flexion and extension pattern for upper limb. In D1 Flexion-adduction -external rotation d1, extension -abduction-internal rotation and in D2 flexion-abduction-external rotation, extension-adduction-internal rotation

Diagnostic Test: PNF

TRT GROUP

EXPERIMENTAL

The duration of a TRT session Will be 60 min. Each session started with warm-up exercises for 10 min followed by 50 min of TRT. Each task will be repeated approximately 10 to 20 times, for 1 to 5 sets, or alternatively for 2 to 5 min. A 2 min rest period after every 15 min of practice will be allowed. Before commencing the exercise session, tasks will be demonstrated to each patient using the non-affected UE.

Diagnostic Test: TRT
