Summary

Use of motor imagery, mirror therapy and motor relearning program in rehabilitation of people with stroke is on rise and these are unique and emerging techniques. Motor imagery is a mental rehearsal through visualization while mirror therapy creates a reflection of non-effected limb by using a mirror. Moreover, motor relearning is task-oriented approach, benefacial for balance and motor funCtion in patients with stroke that emphasizes on relearning.The aim of the study is to determine the comparative effects of motor imagery and mirror therapy versus motor relearning program in addition to routine physical therapy on balance, motor function and activities of daily living in subacute stroke patients.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

MOTOR IMAGERY+MIRROR THERAPY+ROUTINE PHYSICAL THERAPY

Subjects will be instructed to watch the video provided and recorded by investigator.In next step participants will be asked to close the eyes to focus and then to imagine how they are doing task they had previously observed 10 times.Participants will be than instructed to carry out the task in verbal commands given whenever necessary.The unaffected limb will be placed in front of the mirror so that the reflected illusion of the limb would be hallucinated to represent the affected limb and routine physical therapy includes passive and active assisted range of motion for the upper and lower extremity including the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hip, knee and ankle will be given (10 - 15 repititions).

OTHER

MOTOR RELEARNING PROGRAM+ROUTINE PHYSICAL THERAPY

Motor relearning consists of five components including analysis of task, practice of missing components, practice of task and transference of training. Patient will be asked to practice task in both sitting and standing * supine to side-lying to sitting * looking up at ceiling (ensure that centre of body mass does not move back when head is tilted back) * without moving one's feet, turning to gaze over each other's shoulders and scanning the surroundings for specific items, reaching motions in multiple directions while moving the head and trunk, scooting in bed, altering the base of support (standing with your feet together, in tandem, with one foot on a step, or on one leg) * squatting to pick up an object and cross over stepping and routine physical therapy includes Passive and active assisted range of motion for the upper and lower extremity including the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hip, knee and ankle will be given (10 - 15 repititions).
