Abstract
INTRODUCTION : The motor relearning approach was developed by Australian physiotherapists Janet H. Carr and Roberta B. Shepherd based on motor learning theory. Carr and Shepherd proposed that training in motor control requires anticipatory actions and ongoing practice. To further enhance relearning, the motor tasks involved are practiced within a context that can be task or environment specific. Progressive resisted exercises was developed by Delorme and Watkins. AIM : To examine the effect of motor relearning programme with Progressive resistance exercise on upper limb function in hemiparetic patients. OBJECTIVES : 1. To examine the effect of motor relearning programme on upper limb function in hemiparetic patients. 2. To examine the effect of Progressive resistance exercises on upper limb function in hemiparetic patients. 3. To compare the effect of motor relearning programme with Progressive resistance exercises on upper limb function in hemiparetic patients. Design : The study design was pre – test and post – test experimental group study. Participants: 20 subjects aged 35-75 years with stroke were randomized into two groups, with 10 in each group. One group received Motor relearning programme and other group received progressive resistance exercise. Outcome measure : Pre test- post test measurement using Upper extremity component of Fugal – Meyer assessment scale. RESULTS : Statistical analysis was done using ‘t’ test . Both Groups show significant improvement in upper limb physical performance ; comparison of both groups shows significant improvement in Motor relearning programme group . CONCLUSION : Motor relearning programme is more significant than progressive resistance exercise in improving upper limb physical performance following stroke.
