Study Overview
Brief Summary
Effect of Graded motor imagery technique versus Task oriented training on hand function among individual with post stroke – A Comparative study.
NEED OF STUDY
Impaired hand function is most common frequently persisting consequences of stroke. Therefore it is important to improve hand function in order to make patient independent in his functional activity. Many studies have been proved Task oriented training is effective as specific motor task is given to perform movement .It is simple movement to improve functional activities which are used in Activities of daily living (ADL).It can even be performed by patient at home as no equipment is needed. Graded motor imagery is a set of treatment improve the ability of hand function . It consists of three specific elements which activates the cortical networks. Both have beneficial effect on stroke. Hence the purpose, of this study is to compare the effect of task oriented training and graded motor imagery.
