COMPERATIVE EFFECTS of CONSTRAINT- INDUCED MOVEMENT THERAPY and MIRROR THERAPY on FUNCTIONAL AMBULATION and QUALITY of LIFE in CHRONIC STROKE PATIENTS
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Feb 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a global health issue as this happens when the blood flow to the brain is disrupted or reduced, depriving the brain tissue of sugar and oxygen. This interruption affects the brain cells hence leading to the loss of a cell Various physical, cognitive and emotional losses are experienced. Cerebrovascular accident or simply stroke, is the fifth cause of mortality and one of the most common causes of disability in the United States of America (Campbell et al., 2019). There are two main types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke is characterized by an occlusion of a cerebral artery by an embolus or thrombus while hemorrhagic stroke results from a hemorrhage in the brain due to rupture of a blood vessel. A TIA or so-called mini stroke occurs when the clot is not severe enough to result in lasting symptoms (Feigin et al., 2022; Strilciuc et al., 2023). Strokes substantially affect an individual mobility and overall quality of life, although few comparative studies comparing CIMT and MT exist in the literature. This research therefore seeks to systematically compare the effects of these two interventions on functional ambulation and quality of life of chronic stroke patients. Hereby, the research compares structured, task specific CIMT with the less structured, more general approach of MT in order to offer clinicians empirically founded recommendations on what course of action might prove effective for patients. This study also provides new insights to the field given that it not only describes the potential of CIMT within outpatient physiotherapy treatment but also provides an overview of the long-term effects for patients with stroke. These outcomes of this study will be useful in developing rehabilitative research, improving clinical practice protocols, and thereby improve the lifestyles of people living with chronic stroke.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Participants with severe hemiparesis who are unable to reproduce movements accurately with the affected limb, as this may hinder active participation in the therapy(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017; Ezendam et al., 2009).
- Individuals with physical limitations that prevent them from positioning themselves adequately to view their affected limb in the mirror during therapy sessions, as this could compromise the effectiveness of mirror therapy(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017).
Other illness
- History of other neurological conditions affecting mobility. (Mansfield et al., 2018).
- Unstable fracture or other orthopedic conditions affecting gait such as OA, fracture and arthritis (Page et al., 2007).
- --Severe cognitive impairment.
Who the study is looking for
- Participants having age between 21 and 70 years old were recruited (e Silva et al., 2017).
- Both genders included (e Silva et al., 2017).
- Diagnosed with post chronic hemiplegia ischemic stroke (≥6 months) affecting one side of the body(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017; Mansfield et al., 2018).
- Participants having ability to follow verbal and visual instructions(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017).
- Participants having no significant cognitive impairment (Minimental state examination score ≥ 17(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017).
- Participants having low risk of fall (Tinetti gait and balance score ≥20)(Danlami \& Abdullahi, 2017).
