MRP Verses PNF on Pain, Foot Drop, Gait and Functional Mobility in Hemiplegic Patients.
Comparative Effects of Motor Relearning Approach Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique (PNF) on Pain, Foot Drop, Gait and Functional Mobility in Hemiplegic Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Dec 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This single blinded randomized control study aimed to determine the comparative effectiveness of two rehabilitation approaches for improving pain, foot drop, gait, and functional mobility in patients with hemiplegia. The study recruited 68 patients diagnosed with hemiplegia who met specific inclusion criteria. Both groups received a treatment program lasting eight weeks, with assessments at baseline, week four, and week eight. The study measured various outcomes as gait analysis, foot drop grading, functional ability and pain assessment. This study aimed to contribute to evidence-based practice in stroke rehabilitation by comparing the effectiveness of motor relearning and PNF approaches for improving gait, pain, and functional mobility in hemiplegic patients. The findings may help guide therapists in selecting the most appropriate intervention for individual patients.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Subjects having any medical condition that affects his/her performance (Kanase, 2020)
- Other neurological conditions such as severe cognitive impairments
Other
- Completely recovered case of Hemiplegia in terms of walking abilities \& upper limb activities (Kanase, 2020)
- Subjects with Transient Ischemic Attack (Kanase, 2020)
Who the study is looking for
- Patients having age between 45 to 65 years (Kagawa et al., 2013)
- Hemiplegic, impaired functional mobility and dependent (Kanase, 2020)
- Functional deficits in lower limb, with both the Sexes and any side (left or right) (Kanase, 2020)
- Patients having hemiplegia within 6 months might be post-stroke, able to follow instructions (Kanase, 2020)
- Diagnosed with hemiplegia having a stable neurological condition (e.g., stroke) (Anandan et al., 2020)
- Minimum score of 12 on the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) to ensure sufficient baseline gait function for meaningful comparison (Singha, 2017).
- Grade 3 foot drop (Tibialis Anterior) on the Motor Assessment Scale in the affected leg to have room for improvement in both interventions (Singha, 2017).
- Participants having moderate to severe pain of ≤ 4 (moderate) and ≥ 7 (severe) on numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) at rest , were included to minimize confounding effects of pain on gait and mobility (Beebe et al., 2021).
- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 24 (Page et al., 2007).
