Summary

A stroke is a significant contributor to functional decline and long-term disability. The reduction of obesity and improvement in quality of life are directly correlated. Many post-stroke patients experience persistent upper extremity dysfunction. The study aims to compare cross-education non-paretic limb training versus mirror therapy on upper limb strength and dexterous movement of hand in stroke survivors This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at DHQ Hospital Sargodha over a duration of six months. The sample size will consist of 26 participants. Participants which meet the inclusion criteria will be selected through Non probability convenience sampling technique, which will further be randomized through computer engendered in blocks by using basic number generator.13 participants will be assigned to Cross education group and 13 participants will be assigned to Mirror Therapy group. Data will be using various assessment tools, including the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) for functional limitation, Fugl-Meyer Assessment-upper extremity (FMA-UE), Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) for hand dexterity and function. Hand held dynamometer will be used for Grip Strength Test. Pre intervention assessment will be conducted for both groups. The effects of intervention will be measured at pretreatment ,3rd week and post intervention. Data analysis will be performed by using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 23 version.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis

Interventions

OTHER

Cross education

For strength training resistance exercises with a load of 60% of one repetition maximum will be performed targeting the muscle involved in upper limb function. Strength will be measured using the grip strength test/hand held dynamometer. Patients will undergo 45 minute session per day, 3 days per week for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Mirror Therapy

Participants will be asked to sit in front of a table of appropriate height with their arms resting on the table and a mirror (35 cm × 35 cm) placed between the patient's arms. The non-affected arm will be placed in front of the mirror and the affected arm will be placed and obscured. Appropriate movement tasks will be selected according to the function of the affected upper limb. This exercise will be performed 45 minutes per day, 3 times per week for 6 weeks
