A Study to Analyze the Effectiveness of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Robot Assisted Therapy in Improving Upper Limb Function of Patients with Hemiplegia
Abstract: The study intended to ascertain the effectiveness of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Robot Assisted Therapy in Improving Upper Limb Function of Patients with Hemiplegia on sixty hemiplegic patients with limited upper extremity function who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected by Non probability purposive sampling technique and 30 were assigned to interventional group that received Constrained Induced Movement therapy with routine rehabilitation program and 30 were assigned as control group that received Robot Assisted Therapy with routine rehabilitation program. Pre-test level of upper extremity function was assessed through motor activity log and modified Sollerman hand grip function scale with observation checklist, among study groups on first day of the study and post-test was conducted on 14th day. The non-affected arm of the patients was restrained with splint for 4 hours and affected arm was practiced with repeated activities such as peg board, transferring jelly with spoon, picking and transferring the nuts, grasping the smiley ball for 4 hours under the supervision of the researcher.
