Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program Versus Task Based Training on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Stroke; Upper Extremity Paresis; Motor Activity
• Interventions: Other: Graded repetitive arm supplementary program; Other: Task based training

• Registration Number: NCT06397170
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

To determine effects of graded repetitive arm supplementary program versus Task based training on Upper limb function in stroke patients.

Detailed Description

This study will be Randomized Clinical Trial. A total of 38 stroke patients will be recruited by using non-probability convenience sampling Technique. Patients will be Randomized and allocated into two interventional groups based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients in Group A will receive Graded repetitive arm supplementary program and Patients in Group B will receive Task based training. All participants will receive the treatment for 40 minutes per session, 5 days per week for 5 weeks. For the evaluation of all participant scales like be Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory for clinical relevance, Fugl Mayer assessment scale for performance assessment, Action Reach Arm Test for coordination and dexterity and Motor Activity Log for functional assessment of Upper limb in stroke patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fugl Mayer assessment scale	6 months	It is designed to assess reflex activity, movement control and muscle strength in the upper extremity of people with post-stroke hemiplegia. total score is 126.This tool has an excellent Inter- and intrarater reliability (intra class correlation coefficient = 0.98-0.99), validity is also excellent (r = 0.74-0.93, P \< .0001). Higher scores indicate maximum recovery. higher the score greater is the improvement
The Motor Activity Log (MAL)	6 months	The Motor Activity Log (MAL) is a subjective outcome measure of an individual's real life functional upper limb performance. The Motor activity log is administered by semi-structured interview and items are scored by patients according to their performance of each task over the past 7 days. The MAL adopts a 6-point ordinal scale, although patients can attribute a half-score, resulting in 11-point Likert scales with specified anchoring definitions at 6 points. higher the score greater is the improvement
