About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Motor Relearning Programme and Mirror Therapy Along With Conventional Physiotherapy Treatment for Improving Hand Function In Patients With Stroke.

Study was conducted Effectiveness of Motor Relearning Programme and Mirror Therapy along with Conventional Physiotherapy treatment for improving Hand Function In Patients with stroke. study was an experimental study conducted on 12 stroke patients using convenient sampling method .Subjects were divided into two equal groups (n=6). Group A was given conventional physiotherapy and Motor Relearning Programme exercises for the affected hand and Group B received conventional physiotherapy for the affected hand and mirror therapy for the unaffected hand. Chedoke arm and hand inventory (CAHAI) was used as primary outcome measure for evaluation of hand function before and after application of therapeutic Intervention

Title: Effectiveness of Motor Relearning Programme and Mirror Therapy along with Conventional Physiotherapy treatment for improving Hand Function In Patients with stroke.

Background Upper extremity complications are common following stroke. Individuals who have sustained stroke are often left with residual motor deficits of the upper limb. These deficits restrict functional use of the limb in everyday activities and can result in increased dependen cy upon others to engage in some tasks.

Objectives Present study aims to see effectiveness of mirror therapy and Motor Relearning Programme for improving hand functions in stroke.

Materials and Methods Present study was an experimental study conducted on 12 stroke patients using convenient sampling method .Subjects were divided into two equal groups (n=6). Group A was given conventional physiotherapy and Motor Relearning Programme exercises for the affected hand and Group B received conventional physiotherapy for the affected hand and mirror therapy for the unaffected hand. Chedoke arm and hand inventory (CAHAI) was used as primary outcome measure for evaluation of hand function before and after application of therapeutic Intervention

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • motor relearning programmeDevice

    Also called MRP

    MRP exercises for training of Wrist Extensors, Extension of wrist and holding objects, training of supination of forearm, opposition of thumb, cupping of hand and training of manipulation of the objects

  • MIRROR THERAPYDevice

    Mirror therapy in which patient was seated close to the table in front of mirror (35x35 cm). The involved hand was placed behind the mirror. : the practice consisted of intransitive exercises as Hand opening, Wrist extension and flexion, Forearm pronation and supination, Hand sliding on a flat surface. During the session patient were asked to try to do the same movement with the paretic hand while they were moving the non-paretic hand.In both the groups total treatment was given for 1 hour/day for 6 days/week

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory (CAHAI)

    CAHAI scale is designed to encourage the bilateral hand to complete the task. Patient was made to seat in chair without arm rest and encouraging erect posture with elbows at the edge of the table and hands resting on the table. Each task was demonstrated once before performance, and then the Score was evaluated of the affected upper extremity using the 7 point activity scale from total assistance (1) to complete independence.

    Measured: 4 WEEKS

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MODIFIED ASHWSORTH SCALE

    to assess the level of spasticity

    Measured: 4 WEEKS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing motor relearning programme and MIRROR THERAPY in people with STROKE, run by Maharishi Markendeswar University (Deemed to be University).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory (CAHAI) (time frame: 4 WEEKS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2015.
