简要总结
This study will compare the effects of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training on upper extremity function in late sub-acute post-stroke patients. It will be a randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. One group will receive Constraint Induced Movement Therapy, while the other group will receive Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training. Both groups will also receive standard physiotherapy for mobility and postural control. The intervention will continue for 3 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention using upper limb function and motor control assessment tools.
详细描述
Stroke commonly affects upper extremity function and may reduce a patient's ability to perform daily activities independently. In the late sub-acute phase after stroke, structured rehabilitation may help improve arm and hand function, motor control, and real-world use of the affected upper limb. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy encourages use of the affected upper limb by restricting the unaffected arm and providing intensive task-oriented training. Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training focuses on coordinated use of both hands through functional bimanual tasks. This study will compare these two rehabilitation approaches in late sub-acute post-stroke patients. Findings may help guide evidence-based selection of upper limb rehabilitation strategies for improving functional recovery after stroke.
