Summary

This single blinded randomized control study aimed to determine the comparative effectiveness of two rehabilitation approaches for improving pain, foot drop, gait, and functional mobility in patients with hemiplegia. The study recruited 68 patients diagnosed with hemiplegia who met specific inclusion criteria. Both groups received a treatment program lasting eight weeks, with assessments at baseline, week four, and week eight. The study measured various outcomes as gait analysis, foot drop grading, functional ability and pain assessment. This study aimed to contribute to evidence-based practice in stroke rehabilitation by comparing the effectiveness of motor relearning and PNF approaches for improving gait, pain, and functional mobility in hemiplegic patients. The findings may help guide therapists in selecting the most appropriate intervention for individual patients.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Motor Relearning Program with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (MRA + EMS)

This arm received a 30-minute motor relearning program focused on improving foot drop and gait patterns and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) for Targeted Activation (10 minutes) with 40 mA (default) adaptive, considering both intensity and duration for safe foot lift during walking.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (PNF + EMS)

This arm received a 30-minute intervention combining Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques and EMS. The program consisted of: PNF Techniques for Neuromuscular Facilitation (20 minutes) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) for Muscle Response Enhancement (10 minutes): Similar to Arm 1, EMS applied to the affected ankle dorsiflexors for 10 minutes with the same parameters.
