Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Upper extremity paresis in post stroke is an important contributor to disability and task oriented rehabilitation aims at compensating loss of function in the affected upper extremity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of bilateral task oriented training versus unilateral task oriented training to improve the motor functions of upper limb in stroke patients. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of bilateral task oriented training versus unilateral task oriented training to improve the motor functions of upper limb in stroke patients. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: To improve the motor functions of Upper Limb. METHODS: 20 hemiplegic subjects have divided into two groups, the bilateral task oriented training group (10) and the unilateral task oriented training group (10). Duration of session is 60 minutes and 5 sessions per week over 12 weeks. Fugl – meyer assessment scale for upper extremity (FMA-UE), Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory (CAHAI) have used to quantify the treatment outcome. RESULTS: The inferential statistical results of Independent ‘t’ test for between the group comparison of post treatment ‘t’ value is 1.9 (p value 0.03 ) in fugl - meyer motor assessment for upper extremity and 2.53 (p value 0.01) in chedoke arm and hand activity inventory. CONCLUSION: Bilateral task oriented training improved motor functions of upper limb better than unilateral task oriented training in stroke patients.
