Task Oriented Mirror Therapy for Upper Limb Motor Function in Stroke Patient

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Stroke Patients

• Registration Number: NCT06945211
• Lead Sponsor: Foundation University Islamabad

Brief Summary

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.
