ABSTRACT
Stroke is a major cause of disablement in many western countries. In the Netherlands, the standardized annual incidence rate for stroke in men and women is 1.74 and 1.96 per thousand, respectively. Approximately 80% of stroke patients survive the acute phase, and although most patients regain their walking ability, 30% to 66% of the survivors are no longer able to use the affected arm. The recovery process of upper extremity function is often slower than the recovery process of lower extremity function.
So many studies have been done on the treatment of chronic stroke to but no such evidence based practice has been done on Comparative study of the effects of Forced Used training & capsular stretching to improve the movement of shoulder in Chronic stroke patients.
So in this study I intended to give Forced Used training & capsular stretching to improve the movement of shoulder in chronic stroke patients.
It is a comparative study design; a sample of 30 patients was included in the study with the pre-test and post test study design. Random sampling is done on the basis of baseline assessment and diagnosis of their condition as per investigation.
Duration of this study is 6 months and data were collected at Day 0 and Day 45 and Day 90 and follow up.
Results: Graphical presentations, which point to over all sense of the study depicts the same. All graph show the significant difference for improvement in functional performance of the upper extremity, in Group A and Group B separately. The level of mean difference in pre test and post test of both the groups presented functional performance of the upper extremity improvement more in Group A than Group B.
Keywords: Forced used technique, capsular stretching, chronic stroke patients.
