| Sumario: | The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare effect of Neuro Facilitatory Techniques with Neuromuscular electrical stimulation Versus Neuro Facilitatory techniques alone on upper extremity function in subject with Acute CVA. An experimental study for a period of one year was carried on 30 individual (15 experimental & 15 control group) with an inclusion criteria of Subjects within 4 weeks after CVA with either gender in age group of 35-75 years. Subjects with medical co-morbidity, visual defects & contraindicated to electrical stimulation was excluded. The results reveled Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation along with Neuro facilitatory technique enhances the upper extremity motor recovery in acute stroke survivors resulting in clinically meaningful motor function. Subjects in the experimental group performed better on Brunnstrom-Fugl-Meyer test than those in the control group. These results emphasize the potential beneficial effect of therapeutic interventions for hemi paretic upper extremity. |
