Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Early mobilization is one of feature of stroke unit care. One study demonstrated substantially better outcomes for patients managed in stroke units that incorporated early mobilization as compared to those patients who received general medical ward care and not mobilized early in intensive care unit. AIM : To study the effect of early mobilization training on gross motor function and functional outcome in hemiparetic stroke patients. OBJECTIVES : 1. To evaluate the effect of early mobilization training started within 24- 48 hours following stroke in hemiparetic stroke subjects. 2. To compare the effect of early mobilization training started with in 24- 48 hours on gross motor function, and functional outcome in hemiparetic stroke patients. 3. To implement the technique into clinical practice. Design : Pre and post test experimental study. Sample size: Twenty hemiparetic stroke subjects within onset 24-48 hours allocated ten in each group. Age between 40-60 years. Motor arm and leg-2 (NIHSS), Dynamic balance sitting score-poor (Functional balance grade scale). Intervention: Both groups were treated with conventional therapy on second day of stroke, with experimental group received early mobilization training which was started with in 24-48hours of stroke onset and the control group were mobilized after one week of stroke onset. Outcome measure: Motor assessment scale for gross motor function, Barthel index for functional outcome. RESULTS : Statistical analysis was done by using ‘t’ test, which shows there was a significant improvement in gross motor function with early mobilization training group than conventional group. CONCLUSION : Early mobilization training is feasible and effective in improving gross motor function in hemiparetic stroke subjects.
