Effectiveness of Task Related Exercise on Arm and Hand Function and Biochemical Parameter among Stroke Patient

Stroke is medically known as cerebrovascular accident CVA which is defined as a sudden loss of function caused by injury to the brain hemorrhagic stroke and lack of blood supply to the brain ischemic stroke causes weakness of muscle especially on one side of the body, confusion, problem in speaking, visual disturbances, difficulty in walking, sudden severe headache which results in long term disability. So present study aims to assess the effect of task related exercise on arm and hand function and biochemical parameter among stroke patient in selected ward at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Thandalam. A quantitative research approach with quasi experimental research design was adopted to conduct the study among 30 stroke patients and was assign to experimental group 15 patients and control group 15 patients who are selected by purposive sampling technique. Structured questionnaire method was used to collect the demographic variables and clinical variables. The pre interventional arm and hand function and biochemical parameter level was assessed using Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory Score. Task oriented training was provided to the subjects in experimental group daily for 5 days in a week for 15 minutes, for 4 weeks and posttest level of arm and hand function was assessed in both the groups. The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study shows that among 30 patients in experimental group patients proves the demographic variable gender 2=4.615, p=0.032 had shown statistically significant association with posttest level of arm and hand function among stroke patients in the experimental group at p 0.05 level. The clinical variable patients Glass cow coma scale score 2=9.231, p=0.010 had shown statistically significant association with posttest level of arm and hand function among stroke patients in the experimental group at p 0.01 level. In hence the finding of the study shows that the task related exercise was effective in improving the arm and hand and biochemical parameters of stroke patients. Priyadarsini.
