Summary

Hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body) often impacts the lower extremities, making it challenging for patients to walk or move their legs effectively. This study aims to explore the effects of pressure splints on the lower extremity movement and function in individuals who have experienced a stroke and suffer from hemiplegia. Pressure splints are specialized devices designed to support and enhance muscle function by applying gentle pressure to the affected limbs.

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Splint Group (SG) or the Control Group (CG). The duration of the intervention will be six weeks. During this period, all the participants will receive neurodevelopmental therapy. In the SG exercises will be done with the help of the lower extremity pressure splints while participants in the CG will join the exercises without any splint.

This study is significant as it may lead to the development of new methods to enhance recovery for stroke patients and offer better rehabilitation options.
