Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Constraint induece movement therapy is a rehabitation approach that is designed to reduce in capitating motor deficits of the upper limbs in patient after neurological injury and increase their functional independence. Conventional Therapy (CT) is a usual and customary care on improve the upper extremity function. AIM : The study is to find out whether there is any significant difference between constraint induced movement therapy versus conventional therapy in improving upper limb function on patients with stroke. METHODS : The study was experimental in nature. Twenty samples were selected using simple random sampling method and divided into two equal groups. 1. Experimental group – I, 2. Experimental group - II Pretest measurements of upper limb function were taken for both The groups using Fug1 – meyer scale. After the pretest, the experimental group – I received conventional therapy whereas experimental group II received constraint induced movement therapy for a period of 8 weeks. Post – test measurement where taken for both the experimental groups in a similar fashion as that of pretest assessment at the end of 8 weeks. RESULTS : The data was subjected to statistical analysis and the following results were obtained. Conventional therapy is significantly effective in improving upper limb function on patients with stroke. Constraint induced movement therapy is significantly effective in improving upper limb function on patients with stroke. Constraint induced movement therapy is significantly effective in improving upper limb function on patients with stroke. Constraint induced movement therapy is significantly effective in improving upper limb function than conventional therapy on patients with stroke. CONCLUSION ; The results of this study make us conclude that constraint include movement therapy is significantly effective in improving upper limb function than conventional therapy on patients with stroke.
