No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several studies about the effects of nerve mobilizations and stretching exercises have been conducted. This study will contribute to describing the long term effects of these techniques on gait, motor function and quality of life in hemiplegic stroke patients and compare the effectiveness of both techniques.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegic Stroke

Interventions

OTHER

Neural mobilization

Sciatic nerve mobilization (sliding technique) will be performed by a physical therapist. The sciatic nerve mobilization technique improves the nerve mobility of the hemiparetic lower limb in a nervous system patient and is helpful in increasing the ROM of the lower limbs without resistance.

OTHER

PNF hold relax technique

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation hold relaxation technique of hamstring muscle will be performed by the physical therapist three days a week for 6 weeks. In the hold relax technique after reaching the point of resistance, an isometric contraction is performed against the resistance to get a pain free response.
