Effects of Mirror Therapy MT and Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Improvement of Hand in Stroke Survivors A Comparative Study

INTRODUCTION CVA is a complex dysfunction caused by a lesion in the brain. The WHO defines stroke as an “acute neurologic dysfunction of vascular origin with symptoms and sign corresponding to the involvement of focal areas of the brain.” In India the cumulative incidence of stroke ranged from 105 152 100000 persons per year, and the crude prevalence of stroke ranged from 44.29 559 100000 persons in different parts of the country during the past decade. DESIGN Convenient sampling method.SETTING Inpatient and outpatient of Department of Occupational Therapy, SV.NIRTAR, Olatpur.PARTICIPANTS A total of 30 stroke survivors with 15 in each group, A group Mirror Therapy and Conventional OT , B group modified constraint induced therapy with Conventional OT .INTERVENTIONS Treatment duration for both the groups is same. Each group receives occupational therapy intervention for 4 weeks, 5 sessions each session will be 50 minutes in a week. In group A subjects received 20 minutes of mirror therapy and group B subjects received 20 minutes of modified CIMT for 20 minutes respectively in addition to 30 minutes of conventional occupational therapy.OUTCOME MEASURES Action Research Arm TestRESULT The current study has shown that there is no significant difference improvement of hand function in mirror therapy with conventional occupational therapy and mCIMT with conventional occupational therapy. CONCLUSION The applications of Mirror therapy with conventional occupational therapy as well as mCIMT with conventional occupational therapy are equally effective on functional recovery of hand in stroke survivors.
