Short-term effectiveness of trunk and bimanual hand training on upper limb motor recovery and function in stroke patients
Keywords:
Bilateral movement training, stroke, Rehabilitation, bimanual hand training, upper limb motor recoveryAbstract
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of motor impairment in adults and the elderly, necessitating appropriate therapies that might aid upper-limb rehabilitation. Upper-limb rehabilitation is difficult limiting the anticipatory core action using trunk-restraints could be an important factor to consider during Physiotherapy for stroke individuals with upper-arm disability. Different approaches, such as the use of exergames in motor rehabilitation and balance, are being used because they work as motivators, making therapy more enjoyable. Aim: To assess the effects of trunk-restraint reach-to-grasp therapy on trunk arm control following a stroke. The goal of this research was to see how trunk and bimanual hand training affected patients' balance and upper-limb motor function following a stroke. Method: In this work, an experimental design was employed on a randomised control group of 62 stroke patients selected by simple randomization. The research was carried out from September 2020, to august 2021. The Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (FMUE) Scale, Modified Ashworth Scale, and the interviewing questionnaire were all employed in this investigation. Results: For the study and control groups, most of the groups that were examined (95.0 percent and 90.0 percent, respectively) had an ischemic stroke.
