• Conditions: Stroke

• Registration Number: NCT05570461
• Lead Sponsor: NCS University System

Brief Summary

This RCT will also help the clinicians to provide the best treatment to their patients for better outcomes.

The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of Modified Constraint-induced movement therapy on the Upper Limb function of Sub-acute stroke patients in Peshawar Pakistan.

Alternative Hypothesis: There will be a difference in the means of Modified Constraint-induced movement therapyand traditional physical therapy on the upper limb function of subacute stroke patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Wolf Motor function test	4weeks	Use mainly for post-stroke patients with impaired upper limb motor ability. The purpose of this test is to enumerate upper limb motor ability through a series of functional tasks. The WMFT is an instrument with high internal consistency, interrater reliability and test-retest reliability. The quality of movement during the task is measured by functional ability scale, a 6-point ordinal scale, where 0 = does not attempt with the impaired arm and 5 = arm movement appear to be normal.; Higher the value higher will be the normal function.
