简要总结
To determine the combined effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and electrical muscle stimulation on spasticity and hand function in stroke patients.
详细描述
It will be a randomized controlled trial. The stroke patients aged between 30-70 years will be included in this study. Participants will be selected with non-probability convenience sampling technique. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups by lottery method i.e experimental group and control group. The experimental group will receive proprioceptive neuromuscular technique (contract relax-10 repetition) (5-min) and electrical muscle stimulation(10 min) as 15 min session 3 times a week for four weeks while the control group will receive only conventional therapy. The outcome measure will be calculated by modified barthel index, modified ashworth scale and wolf motor function test.

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Barthel Index:
时间窗: 9 months
It is used for assessing the activities of daily living. It is composed of 10 questions that link the degree of independence to daily living activities. Collin et, al; proposed amendment in 1988, in which each domain was scored in one-point increments, ranging from 0 to 2 or 3 for each activity with a maximum score of 20 suggesting functional independence. It is highly reliable and has a good correlation with other disability measures.
Modified Ashworth Scale:
时间窗: 9 months
Modified Ashworth Scale: It is used to assess the spasticity in patients of stroke or spinal cord injury. Scores range from 0 to 4, where lower scores represent normal muscle tone and higher scores represent spasticity. It is characterized by exaggerated deep tendon reflexes that interfere with muscular activity, gait, movement, or speech. It has excellent validity and reliability.
