| description | Objective: To determine the effectiveness of circuit class versus individual task specific training to improve upper limb functions in post stroke pateints.
Study Design: Double blinded randomized controlled trial.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out from January 1 2016 to December 31 2016 at physiotherapy department Fauji Foundation Hospital Peshawar.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 subjects with post-acute phase of stroke and upper limb impairments were enrolled in this study. The subjects were randomly allocated into two groups, experimental (n=30) treated with circuit based task specific training and control (n=30) treated with individual task specific training. The pateints in both groups were assessed using motor assessment scale at the beginning of treatment and 6 weeks after training program.
Results: The Mean age of pateints was 58 and 59 years in control and experimental group respectively. There were more left hemiplegics as compared to right hemiplegics in both groups. The patients in circuit training group showed better results as compared to the patients in individual task specific training group with respect to upper limb functions, advanced hand activities and hand functions six weeks after treatment.
Conclusion: Post-acute stroke survivors show better results in upper limb functions, advanced hand activities and hand functions with by task specific trainings in circuit groups as compared to individual task specific trainings. |
