CIMTCIMT and NDT for Stroke Upper Extremity Rehabilitation

The study is focused on comparing two different rehabilitation methods, CIMT (Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy) and NDT (Neurodevelopmental Treatment), to help stroke patients regain function in their arms and hands. By adding these techniques to regular physiotherapy, the research aims to find the most effective way to improve movement and strength in the upper body. This is important because better rehabilitation strategies can significantly impact the recovery and quality of life for those who have suffered a stroke, allowing them to perform daily activities more independently. Participants in this study will undergo sessions involving CIMT or NDT alongside standard physiotherapy exercises. CIMT involves using the affected limb more actively by restricting the use of the unaffected limb, while NDT focuses on improving movement patterns and muscle control through guided exercises. Researchers will evaluate the progress of participants by measuring improvements in their arm and hand functions. The study seeks to determine which method offers better results, ultimately guiding therapists in choosing the best approach to help stroke survivors recover more efficiently.
