- Original description
Stroke is a leading cause of disability characterized by inadequate blood supply to the brain, leading to cell death and neurological deficits. Motor impairment of the upper extremity is a common consequence among stroke patients, resulting in paralysis of the upper limb. Both Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Brunnstrom therapy have shown promise in improving motor activity and overall quality of life in stroke patients.This randomized controlled trial will be carried out at in Multan over 10 months. Total number of 56 participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned into 2 groups . Both groups will receive interventions for five days a week for 4 weeks.Read full original descriptionShow less
