Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and trunk restraint contrasted with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.
- To find out the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.
- To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint along with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.
- To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint combined with conventional physical therapy treatment versus conventional physical therapy treatment alone on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: week 0 and week 6
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a widely used clinical assessment tool designed to evaluate and quantify an individual's balance and stability during various tasks. It consists of a series of 14 tasks or activities that challenge balance and mobility, such as standing on one foot, reaching for objects, and turning in place. Each task is scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of performance and 4 indicating the highest level of performance
Wolf Motor Function Test
Time Frame: Week 0 and week 6
Wolf Motor Function Test assessment tool was specifically developed to assess and evaluate the exercise capacity of individuals with varying degrees of upper extremity motion impairments, ranging from mild to severe, in both laboratory and clinical settings. It represents an enhancement over a previous tool that was more suitable for assessing high-functioning patients but posed challenges when used with individuals who had limited hand and finger mobility
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale
Time Frame: week 0 and week 6
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) is a specialized assessment tool designed to measure the quality of life in individuals who have experienced a stroke. This scale is specifically tailored to evaluate the impact of stroke on various aspects of a person's life, encompassing physical, psychological, and social domains. The SS-QOL questionnaire typically consists of multiple items or questions that cover a range of topics, including physical health, mobility, communication abilities, emotional well-being, and social relationships. Respondents rate their level of satisfaction or well-being in each domain, often on a scale from 0 to 5 or 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life
