Overview

Stroke remains a major public health disease worldwide ,it usually associating with damage to the motor function and other functional disabilities. Persistent upper extremity dysfunction affects many post strokepatients and is strongly associated with decreased activities of daily living . Mirror therapy one of the rehabilitation that is beneficial for neuroplasticity .This therapy is used to improve motor function after stroke .

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this study are :

1. To imorove upper limb motor function and 2. To improve activities of daily lving . 3. To enhance motor skills.

HYPOTHESIS:

Alternate Hypothesis:

There will be statisticallly significant difference in high intensity task oriented mirror therapy and low intensity task oriented mirror therapy on upper limb motor function ,activities of daily living and enhancing motor skills in stroke patients (p\<0.05)

Null Hypothesis:

There will be no statisticallly significant difference in high intensity task oriented mirror therapy and low intensity task oriented mirror therapy on upper limb motor function

,activities of daily living and enhancing motor skills in stroke patients (p\>0.05)

RESEARCH DESIGN : Experimental study .Randomized control trail.

Interventions

  • Procedure LOW INTENSITY TASK ORIENTED MIRROR THERAPY
    Group A Low Intensity Task Oriented Mirror Therapy will be administered for 2 and half hour per week for 30 min a day, 10 rep five times a week for 8 weeks. Task-oriented Activities for Group A: Using Sponge Balls Reaching and Grasping Objects. Handling Water Cups(pouring water ) Wiping with Rags (cleaning a table ). Using a Spray Bottle Writing and Drawing Folding Towels Turning Pages Brushing Hair keyboard typing Grabbing and releasing a cup. Spoon Feeding Practice Drinking from a Cup Card f
  • Procedure High Intensity Task Oriented Mirror Therapy
    Group B High Intensity Task Oriented Mirror Therapy will be administered for 5 hours per week for 60 min a day, 20 rep five times a week for 8 weeeks. The mode of mirror therapy will be unilateral as subjects will perform movement only on unaffected arm. Task-oriented Activities for Group B: Using Sponge Balls Reaching and Grasping Objects. Handling Water Cups(pouring water ) Wiping with Rags (cleaning a table ). Using a Spray Bottle Writing and Drawing Folding Towels Turning Pages Brushing Ha
