Cognitive Multisensory on Upper Extremity in Stroke

PURPOSE:

To investigate the effect of cognitive multisensory rehabilitation program on upper extremity function in stroke patients.

BACKGROUND: Cognitive Multisensory Rehabilitation (CMR) is a promising therapy for upper limb recovery in stroke, as the CMR considered an effective therapy for motor recovery for adults with stroke

About this study

Thirty patients with stroke The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to cognitive multisensory rehabilitation program, three times per week for 2 months. The evaluation methods Action research arm test (ARAT), Fugl-Myer Assessment upper extremity (FMA-UE), manual function test and Motor Evaluation Scale for Upper Extremity

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Thirty hemiplegic patients, with the onset of stroke six months or longer.
  • Both sexes, with ages ranging from 45: 60.
  • Body mass index will range from 18.5-to 29.9 Kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria

  • Other brain injuries/illnesses, cognitive impairment, severe sensory or proprioceptive loss.
  • Other causes of hemiplegia.
  • Other causes of upper extremity dysfunction.

Treatment and study plan

cognitive multisensory rehabilitation

Other

sensorimotor rehabilitation approach, in which the patient is asked to solve sensory discrimination exercises with closed eyes or to solve multisensory discrimination exercises, e.g., by comparing feeling shapes with seeing shapes.

the selected exercise program

Other

Upper Extremity Range of motion (ROM) exercises Passive Prolonged Stretching and positioning Weight-bearing exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. Action research arm test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    one of the most commonly used upper limb outcomes that measure the activity level in stroke rehabilitation studies consists of a total of 19 functional materials and four subtests as follows: grasp, grip, pinch, and gross movement

  2. Manual function test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    is a performance-based assessment for upper limbs with paresis caused by stroke The MFT is graded on a four-level scale. The total MFT score can range from 0 (severely impaired) to 32 (full function)

  3. Fugl Myer Assessment upper extremity

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    is a scale consisting of 30 items assessing motor function and 3 items assessing reflex function The FMA-UE scores of 0 through 22 represent no upper-limb capacity; scores of 23 through 31 represent poor capacity; scores of 32 through 47 represent limited capacity; scores of 48 through 52 represent notable capacity; and scores of 53 through 66 represent full upper-limb capacity, total sensation UE score 12, passive joint motion UE score 24 and UE joint pain scores 24

  4. Motor Evaluation Scale for Upper Extremity in Stroke patients

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    is a scale that measures the quality of movement of the hemiparetic upper extremity The maximum total score for the MESUPES is 58. The MESUPES-arm comprises 8 items of shoulder and elbow performance, with a maximum score of 40. Each item is scored from 0 (inability to adapt muscle tone to the movement) to 5 (ability to correct and complete motion without help)
