About this study

This research aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of CIMT and NDT, supplemented by conventional physiotherapy, in the rehabilitation of upper extremity function among stroke patients. The findings will inform clinical practice, guiding the development of optimized, patient-centered rehabilitation strategies.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants will be aged 40-65 years and will have experienced either a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke with hemiplegic presentation within the past 1 to 6 months. Additionally, they must have a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 23.

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants with visual or auditory deficits, musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, mental impairments, or a history of surgery will be excluded from the study.

Treatment and study plan

Constraint-induced movement therapy

Other

is a rehabilitation technique used to improve motor function in people who have had a stroke or other neurological conditions. CIMT restricts the use of the unaffected limb, typically with a mitt or sling, to encourage the use of the affected limb.

Neurodevelopmental Treatment

Other

Therapy, is a rehabilitation approach used to address movement and motor control deficits in people with neurological illnesses such as stroke, cerebral palsy, or traumatic brain injury.

Primary outcomes

  1. upper extremity rehabilitation

    Time frame: 6 WEEKS

    The Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) by Carr and Shepherd is a clinical tool used to evaluate upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients. It assesses motor recovery through eight items, each reflecting daily activities, scored on a 7-point scale from 0 (unable to perform) to 6 (optimal performance). For upper extremity assessment, the MAS includes tasks like hand movements (grasping, releasing, manipulating objects), advanced hand activities (fine motor skills such as writing or buttoning a shirt), and upper arm function (reaching, lifting, placing objects). Patients perform these tasks while clinicians observe and score their performance. The MAS provides a quantitative measure of motor recovery, facilitating progress tracking, goal setting, and personalized therapy interventions, making it a reliable and straightforward tool for capturing functional changes in stroke patients.
